rural stinks

you know. this rural town horsham isnt THAT bad. i mean...
the place is ahole obviously,
but it gives u time to tink abt life and every other cliche thing that ive been avoiding ever-so-long.

----
today is sunday:
....
till the day you attend mass at a church of a different belief or denomination,
you'll never question-
why arent we all the same?

i am a catholic.
born one, and always will be.

i can assure you that.

but today, as part of my catholic practice,
i attended a full one-hr mass in Horsham (which lemme remind you- am NOT familar with this hole at all)
only up till the last 10 mins did i realise it was an anglican church instead!
and dont get me wrong-
i loveeeeeeeeee all sortsa christians.
but i'd like to knw which kinda church im in at least.
i mean,
church of Horsham doesnt exactly describe this church's denomination right???

even the apostle's creed had the words "we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church" i mean, thats catholic isnt it?
and they did mention mary quite a few times.

the only diff was that the father randomly swung out his guitar over his cassock thingy and played a children song for the lil ones to singalong to.
THAT was weird.
the informality of it all humored me.

anywayssssssssss
everything was the same
i jst kept reasoning with my conscience- of whether i should stay- and be accepting of a diff practice even though im uneasy at the strangeness squeezing me on the inside, OR
leave early and be like the others who discriminate a different denomination even though we love the one, same God of all.
thats when religious wars start. and i wont be the first to admit to it.

mark and all found it trivial as to what i was feeling-
uneasy yet tryin hard to be accepting.
in addition, the people there were REALLYYYY nice.
at the peace-be-w-u part,
they ALL GOT UP from their seats- even those with disabilities-
jst to hug everyyyyyyyyone in the church.
and at that instant,
iwas reminded of IJ. -reminisce-
and i loved it.
the feeling you get when you miss IJ is really overwhelming.
you cant cry though- cos you knw IJ could only bring you happy memories.

its sucha blessing when youre out in the country-
all alone and bored and feeling distant to god and everyone else,
and the church hugs you tight.
(:

APART FROM THE WHOLE CHURCH THINGY ive been buggering abt,
rural placement is alright.
horsham hospital is okkkk.
they had the hottest surgical interns that everyone calls the "3 musketeers"
HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
*sizzlez*...
HAHA.

---------

i'll update soon.
take care peeeeeeeeeeeps
all those i havent seen in agessssssssssssssssssssssssssss! (:

You should be accepting and its good that you experienced this. It's true that it's strange we're of different denominations and yet have almost the same beliefs and practice. Hopefully one day,everyone will come together as one. We can learn a lot from one another. Miss you cousin!
