church today

so i went to church today, and i figured i might remember what the message was better if i wrote it down since they don't have the readings to follow along where i work.

so the second reading was concerning Elijah, and that his service to God was becoming wearisome and he began to pray asking God to take his life. when he was finished there was water and "hearth cake" at his side and a voice told him that the journey ahead would be too wearisome if he was to eat nothing. and so Elijah ate and walked to mount horeb.

The Gospel was a little less fantastic so i kinda lost myself in thought. i do remember something about their ancestors eating Mana from heaven and dying, but if you eat the Jesus bread then you will have eternal life.

during the sermon, i like Fr's opening statement about how if we did away with anger then there wouldn't be any talk radio or very many news outlets. other than that it was mostly are you going to conform to the culture around you and taking the message to the people and stuff like that. pretty cut-and-dry I'd say...

anyway, one of the my many pet-peeves are electronic drums in church. they are sooo unimpassioned!!! i wish if they would get a little inspiration for church music by listening to some motley crue or something. now that would be a service to remember!!!
