Bible Study at Cutie’s is back, and this time it may be complemented by a return to regular church attendance. I may even consider returning to my previous church.
Victoria led the study and did a bang-up job as always, as we started with a song before she began by reading from Ephesians.
I brought my bible and my notebook to prepare myself for Monday Evening’s study. I also remembered to bring my chair, as there may not have been enough for everyone who was there. The study talked about living “a sold out life”. I got the free coffee (a cold brew with a shot of marshmallow syrup). However, in a couple of weeks when we meet again, I will order something from the cafe. I did this quite a few many times last year when they held the study. Cutie’s is open until 6pm on Bible Study nights. I even saw a few people from Cornerstone who were at the study. The couple I talked to from the church complemented my notebook and we got to talk about our experiences at Cornerstone.
The day before I enjoyed a beautiful Sunday afternoon by first stopping in at Cutie’s for a Banana Cloud Matcha. The girl who styles my hair at Sport Clips saw me there (I didn’t notice her) and we talked about Cutie’s and other coffee shops in Greensburg yesterday morning. The drink was good and the banana topping mixed with the matcha really hit the spot.
I’ll return after my appointment for a midweek visit next week. I’ve been checking my blood pressure and numbers have been near normal (120/80), but I don’t want to jinx it. Staying calm also helps keep my numbers down, in addition to eating right. I’m praying for the same results next week, as well as for the right CPAP mask when I do my sleep study Thursday morning. I’ll be talking about that in my upcoming speech next week at Laurel Highlands Toastmasters.
With all this talk of blood pressure and sleep apnea, am I shifting to more health-related topics for the blog and my Toastmasters speeches? Most likely no, but I have been paying more attention to my health as I get older. This speech I’m giving next week at Laurel Highlands will be given again at Greensburg Toastmasters the week after. So it’ll be a pre-conference speech and a post-conference speech.
May is teaming up to be a crazy month with appointments and conferences, and speeches. Is it vacation yet (or my birthday)?
I started going back to church a few weeks ago and it’s been good. Community Church in Harrison City was my first stop a few weekends ago and the music and sermon were good. I visited a few times in 2024 and before that it in late 2021. I’ll be back in a few weeks closer to the end of May. Last Saturday, I attended church at Cornerstone. I planned to go in-person but opted for online instead. Maybe it was the weather, or maybe I wanted it to be a bridge week for this weekend.
It’s likely I’m going to attend in-person this weekend. It’s time to stop thinking so hard and just enjoy the upcoming service Saturday night. They’re in the middle of a series and I enjoyed myself this past weekend. While I may return to Cornerstone, I’m still going to give Community Church a couple weeks. Afterwards, I’ll make my decision on where to worship.
If I wanted to free up Sundays, then I’d have more choices. But I like to have my Sundays free for coffee or a nice outdoor walk.
If neither one of these churches appeals to me, I’ll give Otterbein Church located in downtown Greensburg a try.
