It's a strange feeling when you realize the aftermath of 20+ years of church. I found myself in a bit of trouble today from some miscommunication and was totally expecting a wave of guilt thrown on me. And also to be beaten, but that's more a byproduct of my Korean household. Thankfully, my team is full of grace from unknown sources. I choose to believe that we're just good people, and that the rest of the world is weird. Perhaps this is also Christian.
We have a status meeting every Monday. With the majority of my significant memories stemming from church-something, I always feel a bit weird leaving our Monday meetings without a closing prayer. To the point where I linger in my seat, waiting for someone to bow their head and clap their hands.
"Dear God, please let all this work go away. In Your Name, Amen."
I've purposely refrained from speaking in all avenues about religion. To put it briefly, it's a messiness that continues to rock my world. I'm like a snow globe, a wonderful disaster when unsettled and all shook up.
i totally know that needing-to-pray-at-the-end-of-meetings feeling. and talking about religion in a non-christian setting is difficult.. u get a lot of opportunities for that tho at work?
