This will sound like a pompous “I’m more spiritual than you” post.
I’m not. I promise. I’m just a guy desperately trying to be like Christ. Desperately. Usually, I fail. Terribly.
Yesterday, however, was a bit of a high point for me. Due to the first snowstorm of Twenty-Ten, Crossroads canceled all services, so the Shufords remained home for a portion of the day. (We did duly make our way out later to feed our physical bodies; yes, we’re hypocrites…)
The thought crossed my mind first while in the shower, I think, as most of my good thoughts do. (If I could remain in the shower for at least 3 hours a day, surely there would be world peace and no economic difficulties.) The thought was to just have a brief “Shuford Church”. Yeah, I know, all good daddies do this without thinking about it.
Nobody preached, although it was more than slightly humorous that Karma and I both chose “praising God” as our theme with absolutely NO planning. We sang “Jesus Loves Me” and “Amazing Grace”, prayed a couple times, and we were done. For once, I am pretty doggone sure that we did something right.

Very good! Family worship is something I struggle to keep going at our house. I’m on again, off again. I will do really well for two weeks and then something inevitably happens that throws us off schedule and we don’t do it. I’ll get convicted, do it again for a couple of weeks and feel really proud of myself. Then I fail again. I know consistency is key, but that is something we lack altogether at this house.
Since I’ve done it a grand total of once in 8 years, your “every couple weeks” looks pretty consistent to me!
Sounds like you “done good.”
I think those kids will remember that “chruch service” more than the normal ones B. You’ve set the bar.. and ur doing great!
