So I didn’t go to church on Sunday, August 2. I just didn’t feel like it. Now I’ve gone to church regularly every Sunday for about 28 years.
If you ask kids how Boxing Day got its name, they're likely to say that it's called Boxing Day because that's the day that you carry large boxes out of a mall and out to your car. (For example, the box of an 42 inch plasma television.) Very few of them know that the term "Boxing Day" gets its name from a centuries old tradition. On Christmas Day, churches would leave large boxes out by the doorway, and people attending Christmas Day services would leave money and other articles in them for the poor.
I'm intrigued by the number of people who consider churches to be like cell phone and internet carriers.
So in my last blog I outlined when it was that I became invisible.
Now that I realize that I'm invisible, my next step is to try to become visible again.
I must admit that I'm used to being invisible. After all, I'm a Generation Xer. There's a huge generation of Baby Boomers in front of me, and a huge generation of Boomers' children behind me. As far as politicians and mass marketers are concerned, I'm invisible. They cater to the huge generations of people that I'm sandwiched between.
