My entire life, Sunday mornings have been for one thing: church. Last year, I visited nearly a bazillion churches in Bangkok before settling on one in January. However, after a few months, I realized it wasn't a good fit and in May, revisited a couple of others that I thought could work. There was one that I really liked, but their service was at 2pm on Sunday afternoon, an odd choice, and to me, kind of a drawback. But after more visits and praying about it over the summer, I have since settled in there and have learned that I LOVE the 2pm start. And it makes sense. There isn't a single solitary verse in the Bible that tells us we have to meet in the mornings.
I am just now discovering the joy of a Sunday morning. For one thing, since I have Nak Suu on most Saturday mornings, it gives me a chance to sleep in once a week. I am a morning person and I love getting to enjoy a quiet morning. Sunday morning is also Saturday evening in the US and Argentina, making it a perfect time for skype. Watching Tigers games live instead of on delay is another great option that comes on a Sunday morning. It also means that I can get to the weekend market even on weekends that I have Nak Suu, or that I can be lazy and stay in my pajamas all morning without feeling guilty for missing church or something. It's also fantastic to have a nice long quiet time on Sunday before heading to church- I find it makes my time there so much more worshipful.
I love plenty of other things about this church, and I'm glad that I decided on it when the 2pm was a drawback so that I can now experience the perk of reclaiming my Sunday mornings.
