Actually I still have a chance at my church on Christmas Eve. <br /><br />I was thinking the same thing about "Do not be afraid" at church myself this morning. I had not realized it had been said it to Joseph too.<br /><br />If those annoying people sit at the same area every Sunday, perhaps you can relocate yourself to get away from them. I completely sympathize. I can't stand noisy, self-centered people in church myself.<br /><br />Feel better.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-696752275509036420.post-27435583167717367042010-12-19T18:51:43.862-07:002010-12-19T18:51:43.862-07:00I'm sorry to hear you've been ill, Mary Ch...I'm sorry to hear you've been ill, Mary Christine, and hope you feel better soon. It can be very frustrating and distracting when people around you are noisy at Mass. It's kind of hard to pray and focus on the Lord when too many other things are going on. When my daughter was young I used to take her to the back entry when she got noisy so she wouldn't disturb others.Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-696752275509036420.post-82707282004691669402010-12-19T17:06:41.842-07:002010-12-19T17:06:41.842-07:00Hey there :-) I do hope you feel better MC! I to...Hey there :-) I do hope you feel better MC! I too can become distracted by the folks at Mass "who aren't doing it right" when I really ought to just be grateful they are there at all. (I'll let you know ho that turn out!)<br /><br />I wasn't much for going to Mass this morning either, but I dragged my butt in there and I felt better.<br /><br />Be well, and enjoy the gift of Reconciliation! I need to find my way there this week as well.Scott M.

When my daughter had...I hope you feel better soon. When my daughter had a kidney stone she said she felt very similar- very bad back ache, fever and nausea. You may want to call your doctors office just in case it's a stone or infection. <br /><br />Don't feel bad about the distraction in church, we have the same continual problem but it's letting several kids run wild, literally run wild during mass. Talking, laying in the aisles, running across the church to other family members, fighting among themselves, grabbing the hair of people in front of them (accidentally bu continually), etc. I don't know why three adults cannot keep 4 kids under 6 in line. I was so upset one day I didn't feel that I was in the right frame of mind to take communion. Take care- call the doctor!Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.com
