This is something I didn’t understand as a child questioning God. As an adult, I view church in a much more positive light.

I do wish I had social circles outside of work and old highschool friends. I think for some folks church does that, and that’s great. It’s certainly not for me, though.

I have found being a regular at a gym has worked wonders for a sense of community. Even if we don’t chat all that much it’s still 4x a week that I see all the same familiar faces that I’ve been seeing for years. It’s great.

Sometimes you chat more sometimes less and you don’t know too much about their life outside the gym, but they’re your peeps.
