Do I stay or do I go?

[telerib]

It's been a traveling month, and next month will be a traveling month, so I feel like I should get to church since I'll have the opportunity this weekend.

Of course, it's the "Dia de los Muertos" service - yeah, the one where I totally broke down and lost it last year. I don't mean a few discreet tears - I mean I had to go outside because of the huge chest-heaving sobs. I apparently felt better afterwards, according to last year's LJ, but I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

Maybe I can hide in the parish hall and read some Thoreau or something.

Michael and I are going to be there, if it would help to have a plan to sit with people who (a) could put supportive arms around you, and (b) could be tossed the Spud if you need to make a quick, un-gear-burdened exit.

Hm... if I bring the Spud, I'll probably be so distracted from the entire service that I won't notice a thing. (At least, that's been my limited past experience.) But that might be a good thing this time...

*sigh* Time-management/life-balance problems a-go-go - they make me very jealous of my weekend time, even though furthering some kind of spiritual growth is theoretically important to me. It's just so easy to let other stuff, even other important other stuff like family, run it off the road.

Guess this is why they felt compelled to make 'Keep holy the Sabbath day' a commandment and all.

Couldn't have said that better myself.

I hope things go well for you Sunday, whether you make it to the service or not.
