Well at the beginning it's all singing and the preacher sings...he is up there with the microphone and it is very distracting cause he sings all crazy and this is a real test for me being in church and all...so I can't just think he is a dork, right? So I pray that he will chill out. I am the worst person ever, huh?

Then after the singing was wrapping up, Pastor Mike was asking "who here needs the Lord to come in and show you the way and help you out in your life?" Over and over, he does it when we have our heads down praying and then he says...raise your hand if you have an issue in your life now that you need the help of the Lord, tells us how no one is looking, but people are looking...anyway I raised my hand, but I really was not thinking of anything specific...just normal stuff, like maybe the Lord could help the new girl at work find another job cause she is getting on my nerves, but then the pastor tells all of us who raised our hand to go down to the alter so they can pray over us. Totally on the spot! I didn't go cause I felt sort of weird...like why do people need to be prayed over? If I need guidance from God and I have a relationship with Him=, I can pray myself, right? Hopefully next Sunday it will feel better to me...I felt like they were trying to draw me into their cult or something. Even that sounded bad. I guess I do need to go to church more. sheesh

I also sort of felt guilty for having boobs, like having large breasts at church is against the rules or something. Today was a weird day.

Your not alone mine is the same way, raise your hands now come to the front, not me. I can pray just fine sitting right there in that chair

I dont go to church at all, but I think the two of you should go up there. It'll teach you humility in the face of God. Will you not approach the pearly gates when your time comes? Try it just once, and see how you feel afterwards.

I'm involved in a church that very much believes that no service should end without an "altar call", but even my pastor is not like the one you described as in putting people on the spot and what not. Whether you go forward or not is your choice...not some sort of edict from on high. My ex wife was one to go forward on every single thing...but me, nah. I can only recall one or two times where that was the case...I can pray just fine in my pew, thanks.

But that's just my 2 cents on the matter.

Wow Hanna! Boobs in church? Never did I use boobs and church in the same sentence. Nor have I ever thought about boobs IN church.

When I lived in NC, where I became a Christian, our pastor did the same thing. He would have an alter call for anyone that felt it necessary to go up an kneel at the alter. He would then lead the whole congregation in prayer for those at the alter. I only went up when I was praying for guidance and actually I felt quite comforted knowing that the rest of the group was praying for me! I never felt "pressured" to go up to the alter, nor did I feel guilty kneeling in my pew. Our Pastor also could not sing worth cent but he would always say "God gave me this voice so it's my chance to pay him back". That would always give me a big chuckle.

Hopefully you will feel more comfortable in your church soon. I know that churches are very personal so I wish you all the best...

Friday - no workout, just lots of running around getting ready for a day trip to the lake on Saturday

Saturday - no workout really...I am sore from holding on for dear life as my dad tried to kill me while I was tubing behind the boat. I'm not sure if tubing is fun or not...it is fun, but torture at the same time.

I ate a lot too. Potato salad, muffin, hot dog, bagel chips, etc.

Now I want to get our own boat. This will be our next large purchase...I hope.

Hanna, are you still interested in running in any marathon ?

nah, half marathon maybe someday...but that is a long shot. I want to do a 10k....but marathons are a bit much....like death would be knocking on my door, lol. 26 miles is a long way to run-it would be cool to push myself and see if I could do it, but I'm not sure if my 30 year old body could handle it.

There is an interesting legend behind the marathon. A messenger, Pheidippides carried the news of the Greek victory over the Persians in the battle of Marathon in 490 BC...after running the news back 24.8 miles he dropped dead of exhaustion. Only a legend they say, there is no proof of it occuring, but the legend was used as a basis for the first Olympic marathon in 1896.

cardio - 2.8 mile run...hilly as a mofo

[Hannainnc]

I absolutely hate not keeping this up to date...it is a cycle for me of not keeping journal up-to-date and slacking off. I did workout Wednesday, 07/04 - 12 min run, chest, tri, shoulders - I slacked on the weights part.

No workout Thursday because I was pissy and I just got back from a run today... 3.2 miles just about.

Tonight I am going to pull a Martha Stewart and sew something while my husband builds us a new pc. OMGosh he is so cute, this package of parts was delivered by UPS today and the look on his face was like it was Christmas. All he really needs are things like CPUs, memory, and motherboards and he's happy...and I guess he also needs food...and sex....and sleep.

Sounds like your old man and my wife are the same! I think she wouldn't notice me naked when she is working on a computer.

It's like she just goes into her corner and only comes out when she needs a refill on her coke!

I guess I am like that with the gym and TKD training though....

At least they're not running the streets.

lol.. that is some funny stuff right there..

[Hannainnc]

I missed my run yesterday evening, so I was super looking forward to today. But my run ended up horrible....it is sooo hot and humid. I had a horrible time breathing and cut my run short at 2.25 miles.

I am so disappointed in myself...my time was horrible. I feel like when I take a day off it effects my run negatively....maybe I am one of those people who needs to run every day or maybe it is just too humid and the weather zapped my energy.

It is so depressing.
