Guest guest Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hi ! I would say go with what works best with you on the curtsey lunges - when I first saw them I freaked out a bit, but I tried them and it was okay for me. I'm not Catholic either (although that is how I was " raised " sort of half way, made it to communion but not to confirmation) Right now we go to a church that is affiliated with the United Methodist Church, but it is one of those contemporary churches that meets at a school cafeteria. They play up-beat contemporary music and the " sermons " are very down to earth (and actually have a practical/secular relevance as well as a spiritual relevance). Our Pastor is my age and is an athlete - he competed in a triatholon. He is leaving though and we're getting someone new who sounds very interesting - he was a software engineer before deciding to become a Pastor. It is a good church for kids, they have tons of kid activities, etc. I'm not really sure if " real " Methodists (I've actually never been to a traditional Methodist church) do the whole Lent thing or not - I just sort of do it on my own out of habit I guess (no pun intended - habit - Catholic nun..yeah, I'm punchy today!) Enjoy the new guy in your life! And, I'll have to look for those radishes. I need crunchy food in the afternoons for stress relief and I'm getting tired of carrots. Take care!
