I understand looking to church as a place to meet people. And I wish you all the luck in your search.

What am I up to? Playing online till it's time to go to bed, when I'll think about doing it all again tomorrow. Just got home from work which was very boring as always. I hate having to work. I so deeply envy people who don't have to work. It almost makes me physically sick.

I don't drink at all and don't like going places where people are drinking either. I do hope you can find normal people to fit in with. I tried it and didn't fit in because I'm not normal. I don't have a family or a car etc. But anyway, best wishes

Why do you read so much into someone going to church. People go to churches for all different reasons and they're not dragging you along. That they seek a place where they will have peace and not be bothered sounds normal to me as Beaumont isn't going there to be a Prophet or preach.

Sometimes just sitting in a church and looking at the architecture and the incredible stained glass is so peaceful, and in a church that is very old, you may find incredible carving.

A program on cable TV has a very old church that people bought and make into a home. To satisfy the old community they lived in, the buyers kept the part of the church where you enter as a dining room area and kept the beautiful stained glass windows, used pews to make dining room chairs and even to make an incredible dining table and the floors are beautiful. I believe it was old time candle sconces on the walls. They redid the rest of the church as they wanted. The community was very happy and even visited to see how respectful they were of the old church property and were pleased. It was beautiful.

Heretic, I think you're very lucky to have a job. It's always better to have a job than to have no job, for all kinds of reasons. Stick with it, because no matter if you dislike working, it can be a launching point to something better. Hang in there, my friend!

Sunday I'll be attending a Lutheran church service. I don't know anything about Lutherans, but I will go to find out.

Monday I will be attending an orientation for a job search program run by the county of San Diego. Wish me luck!

Good luck, I hope it all works out for you

good luck job searching...it is hard out there to find a good job or for that matter get hired almost anywhere...

Church was not the subject of the question turning...the question was what are you up to? You took that as an opening to bash people who have gone to church for any reason other than why you might be going to church...bad behavior...sorry calling you out....but it was what are you up to...

So I will talk about what I am up to...been busy with my driving school so much this year...I am ahead of my good years past in earnings so far this year and haven't reached peak season yet...

I did some purchasing for give aways to students out of a catalog that came in mail...went online and purchased ID holder/zipper coin purse with clip for keys...will be giving them to students either as a gift at Christmas inside a Christmas card or over the course of their lesson work...not sure which way the wind will blow quite yet....but the gifts will be given with confidence that they will be enjoyed...

other than those things I keep going to AA....that keeps me semi busy and I have been hitting meetup group events...got one tomorrow Saturday for pizza in early afternoon 4pm...two gals and I will be having dinner together for the meetup unless others decide to join us...or if someone no show then I guess I might end up alone?
