what's old is new and all that
Went to church today for the first time in almost a year. Not a bad time of it, really: everyone seemed nice, the message jibed with what I believe, it felt awesome to be in church, studying, again. But it also made me really, really lonely for my old church.

I kept looking around at all the unfamiliar faces and thinking about all the ones I *would* know if I were still in Chicago. I've sort of missed those faces over the past year, but it wasn't until I was in the right place with the wrong people...or the wrong place with the wrong people...that I felt it. It's like getting used to living in Texas all over again.

Blah. Living somewhere for 16 years makes it bloody impossible to live anywhere else.

I agree. I don't know how you guys do it. I think I'll always be drawn to the Chicago area. Though, once you make really solid connections there, I'm sure things will look up. Of course, going through the task of making the connections is the hard part. I guess you just have to spend enough time somewhere else so that you replace the other place. Is that possible? What a depressing thought. Oh boy, I don't think I'm helping much at all. But I'm glad that you initial experiences at the new church seem positive so far.
