Needy I am

So on this Sunday morning I was thinking about Church and my reaction to it. I have discovered I am a very needy person. When you haven’t been exactly walking the straight and narrow, and you come in to Church you…(or at least I) am a very needy person. I need for the greeters and the door to be warm and genuine. I need the music to be some of my favorite song, and be played well. I need my friends to find me and be interested in me. I need the message to be thought provoking, and the speaker to be engaging. I need him to crack jokes every now and the to keep my attention…The fact is I haven’t come in empty. I’ve come to church full…bloated even. So full that even though what is being offered to me is incomparable, I’m so darn full of myself and my troubles that there isn’t room for anything else. I need to be emptied.
