For reasons I won't bore you with, I'll most likely be moving a little closer to school within the next month or two. This prompted me to start church-hunting again, to find something a little closer to where I'll be located. And this, of course, prompted me to start thinking in depth about what helps me decide what churches to try and what churches to stick with once I try them. via Website I must say, a church's website is a pretty huge first impression. If you don't have one... or if it looks like it hasn't been updated since 1992... I most likely won't read far enough to even find out when your service times are. You don't need a flashy, gimmicky site either (in fact, I'd prefer you didn't), but please make sure to list services times, directions, ministry and education opportunities, and also names and emails/phone numbers of people I can get in contact with in case I have more questions. Also, it is super helpful to have some phot...
Yeah for purging your closet! I'm so desperate to do that I may just get rid of stuff right now. I'm at my smallest "self" right now, so if there's something even smaller or something that doesn't work for me now (and didn't work for me while I was nursing), it needs to GO! Thanks for the motivation - keep asking me if I've made time to do it. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I've found over the years, that even if I'm not at my ideal weight at a certain moment in time, getting rid of stuff that you KNOW you haven't worn in years or that you KNOW makes you feel dumpy when you wear them clears space for things that actually work and make you feel good when you put them on.
DeleteI've had friends who keep tons of clothes for "just in case" they get down to their ideal weight again. This usually keeps them in a rut of wearing clothes that don't quite flatter them as they are now, which in turn keeps them constantly in limbo w/ their weight b/c they're constantly feeling wistful about where they're not instead of trying to work with where they're at.
That snowflake puzzle is VERY impressive!
