Great post, as always Casey.

I would have never said this as a teenager, but now as an adult I’d happily attend church all day on Sunday if it was asked. I wish I had the feelings I have a church with me all week. Being at church makes me feel good.

My dad is a preacher. Growing up he was an evangelist and started a couple of different churchs. We ALWAYS dressed up for church. And slowly but surely the trend of church's has changed. I never really thought anything about it until I read your post. Think I'll leave the jeans at home next time. Oh and bravo to you for blogging about your faith (NOT RELIGION. There is a difference.). Brees last blog post..Will blog for food

In response to Becky’s question about race- the LDS church has 13 “Articles of Faith” (which is a statement of our basic beliefs). The second one is:

“We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam’s transgression.”

(Or Cain’s, or anyone else’s transgressions) We are all accountable for our own actions, regardless of race, background, etc. The LDS church has leaders of every race. The race card is something the ‘haters’ like to twist against Mormons.

Great post Casey.

I'm not Mormon but I do attend church every week as well. We spend 1.5-2 hours in actual church, we're starting on a marital group meeting each week which will take a couple of hours, I'm going on a retreat, etc. Point is, we spend a small but valuable amount of time, too, and it bugs the CRAP out of me when people show up to church in tube tops and booty shorts. I mean it REALLY chaps me. I think all churches should have a dress code. Skanky dressing is a distraction from the reason you should be there, I feel!

1) For some reason, seeing someone who doesn’t get dressed – at least moderately nicely – for church, drives me nuts. Irks the living crap out of me.

2) I come from a family of Pentecostal and Baptist ministers. I’ve seen marathon church before but at least it always ends with food. So there’s that.

I’m mormon too and my best friend, who isn’t, calls our church the marathon church. She’s never heard of going for 3 hours before.

I think it’s cool that you write about this stuff regularly.

Now excuse me, I’ve got to get on with my weeding.

I think it is admirable that you are so devoted to your religion. A lot of people have a hard time finding it, let alone shouting it from the mountain tops. I hope one day to be as faithful as you! Tootss last blog post..First was love, then was marriage, and now?

I love when you post about church!

As a member of another oft misundastood religion, I should follow suit.

(Should I ever do that, I’ll totally credit you as my inspiration so no one Twitters me a cheating copier.)
