Recently I have been more committed to attending church. I am a confirmed catholic, and decided that I should be attending more. The church that I grew up in is reorganizing in such a way that the mass schedule needed to be changed. I preferred to go to a saturday evening mass in sardinia, but that part of the parish has been closed and I had the option of georgetown, ripley or arnheim. The saturday mass would be in georgetown, which is a slow half hour drive from where I am. Given that information, I decided to tryout the catholic church in hillsboro and decide which I may commit more time to in the immediate future. While I do find the hillsboro church service of 5:30 more convenient, I am not quite sold on what is happening there yet. The inside if the church is painted very bright, and the newsletters talk about them being in debt almost 300 grand. Hillsboro does offer catholic school services during the school year which I find intriguing. My previous parish had very good things to offer, but the less convenient location and times don't necessarily suit my preferences. I can make it to hillsboro in about twenty minutes. I think I will be going to hillsboro services for the near future, but may pop in mt. orab every once in a while also.
Part of the appeal of catholic masses for me is the structure. I attended non catholic services with my ex girlfriend and didn't quite like the liberty or flexiblitiy in services. The people were great, the sermons were outstanding, but I didn't like not knowing what should be happening next.
Also, I am really into three songs so far this summer. Whenever they come on, I have to turn the radio up just a little bit more. "Spaceman" by the killers, "Be Somebody" by Kings of Leon, and "Zero" by the yeah yeah yeahs. They are totally kick ass.
The song by Kings of Leon is actually called "Use Somebody." :-) They're one of my favorite groups right now. Check out "Sex on Fire" and "Closer" if you like "Use Somebody."
