Don't worship the tortilla!

The service today was about the first 2 of the 10 commandments. My pastor likes to tell stories. There was a tortilla for sale on Ebay that had the face of Jesus in it. Now, this happens because the maker burnt it, or it wasn't flipped quickly enough in the frying pan, whatever the reason. The point was that someone paid money for this tortilla. In making the point of not turning the tortilla into idols, he said, "Don't worship the tortilla!" The line stuck with me.

I'm not that great at looking up previous purchases on Ebay and posting links, so if someone out there wants to, great. I just trust that the pastor didn't make this up. Even if he did, I still like the line.

So although I profess to be a Christian, it's been at least a year (not including Christmas Eve) since I went to church. I managed to go today. I realized that even though I haven't walked through the doors in a looooong while, God was still there waiting for me with open arms. I've missed that love in my life. It's been really rough for me, and I so needed to go to church and experience that unconditional love again. Of course, it does help that I like the service and everything about the church. It's home.
