Hi sweetgirl, I'm not sure what you can see that has changed, it sure looks the same as it always has to me. There does seem to be a few issues with the site though...problems with spacing words on occasion and I'm unable to view some pictures.

It's good to have you back.

We started at one church this morning and were bored.... Is that bad? I said let's go to the St. Pete Church so off we went the kids were doing the whole church service it was so cute. Not bored at all...the kids did a good job.

PS I don't get bored in church often, but the subject matter at the first one was a snoozville for me and I just couldn't force myself to sit there for 2-3 hours on the subject of food....I was outta there... Please talk about Jesus I know food is important for health but it doesn't save me Jesus saves. Now if you want to talk about being a Vegan another time other than church time I'm all for it.... even though I am not a Vegan, but I want to hear about God during church...o.k. God was referenced as creating seeds, nuts and vegies in the Garden of Eden.... Oh well you get the idea... Rant over.....Blond out....lol

I touched on this the other day. Cliques are an ongoing issue the Church of Christ faces no matter the platform, in addition to yours I got a chance to see another blog written about the issue earlier today:

You know a clique that involves a herd of sheep who have no mind of their own, so they follow the wolf of the pack. They'll go with whatever their 'leader' says despite the truth of the matter and 'gang up' on the minority. Those kinds of dismal set ups are everything Jesus calls us not to be a part of. Rather, to stand on our own two feet being proud to represent Him no matter how much disapproval we receive, from anyone. Jesus calls us to live a slightly more substantive life with our free will given over to God and to no person.

I mentioned a few days ago on here that cliques are just as much an adult syndrome as they are a younger mentality. As was articulated today in the opening line of this blog: http://christianchat.com/blogs/socreta93/10537-cliques-popularity-my-church.html, they are unfortunately often encountered in experiences and platforms that are supposed to be directly Christ centred.

I hope they establish for themselves a safe haven where they can truly be themselves without any hindrance from the enemy.

I think that cliques have been an issue in the church from the beginning. If you think about it, there were situations in the NT church in which rich and well dressed members were being given choice seats and places of honor and the poor were being treated with contempt.

At the foot of the cross we are all equal. Cliques are our own idea not God's. Before I am intimidated by others and unknowingly I also intimidate others. But by knowing who we are in Christ, we can love others the way Jesus does, without condemnation.
