My life has suddenly become very exciting and very busy. I may have to miss a few Sundays. There will be a better update for those curious in a few weeks.
The plan for now
So, thirty churches seems an arbitrary number to stop, take stock and breathe for a little while. Also, I happen to be in the midst of a project at home that will be taking a significant amount of time. For the next month (at least) I’ll take it easy, visit some repeat churches, and write my thoughts. Expect posts to be shorter for a while. I do have a date with a second Easter this year in early May, so you can all look forward to that. Hopefully I’ll be back to regular new church visits very soon. I’ve got some exciting ones on the way, including one apparently in Spanish, so do stay tuned for eventual awesomeness.
This week
I’m taking a sick day from church. God, the Internet, or maybe my new phone clearly doesn’t want me to write a detailed post about my thoughts right now, because I had one all written up and it got deleted somehow. Oh well.

December is so not happening
So I missed church again through a combination of factors. I’m still trying keep my diet in line with not bothering my stomach. I’m feeling increasingly blue as the daylight dies. What I’d like to do is finish up the year with some more opinion pieces and thoughts. It seems less likely I will get to church regularly in December (or at all), so I’m scheduling my next new church for January. Feel free to jump in with comments on any post you’d like to discuss. I like that type of thing. Or just give a shoutout. I like that too.
For now here is some religious humor: We know that Noah got on the ark with his three sons; Shem Ham, and Japheth. Also included were their wives, who are not named in the bible. But we do know at least one of their names. What, you never heard of Joan- “of ark”?
November Update
It’s been an annoying week and a half. The stomach problems I sometimes get are plaguing me again, and I’ve been trying to deal with working and eating food that doesn’t upset things . It’s hard not to become frustrated due to the fact that Thanksgiving is in less than a week and I’m not sure I can enjoy it.
So in terms of this blog, I’m wanting to slow down so I can catch up on life and enjoy the holidays a little bit. I still have a church repeat to write about. Also an opinion piece has been on my mind. For the end of the year I wanted to try a quick “year one tour” of my favorites church-wise. This project has been so many unexpecteds. I didn’t think I’d find as many connections as I’ve found. There are pastors I keep in touch with; churchgoers who now recognize me. There are churches out there open to gay ministers and lots of programs helping people in so many ways. I have been anticipated at several churches now as “the Tracey with the blog”. I am also trying to decide what to do on Christmas eve. I’d need to find a midnight mass or service if I chose any church that day; I’m working second shift. I suppose there are Christmas day services as well? I’ll post again as soon as I can work some of this out.
