Day 29: Lazy Sunday Secrets

Today Rob and I woke up good and early so we could make it to the Meeting House on time. The last two times we went we were about an hour late and ended up missing the majority of each service. This time we left the house at around 8am and made it downtown with a half an hour to spare. The service was pretty good for the parts that we were able to stay awake. They were talking about a book that’s selling a lot right now, called “The Secret”. It’s supposed to be this self-help/will power/positive energy kind of book about getting what we want out of life. It was really interesting. The pastor pointed out some of the main ideas from the book and what scripture says about them – basically how it’s foolishness. For example, one of the teachings said: “Think about what it is you want right now, focus on it, and then open this book randomly, and that page will give you the answer to what you’re looking for.” Just to be sure that it was all a lie, Rob tried it out later when we were getting groceries at Shopper’s Drug Mart. Rob held the book, thought about what he wanted, (food), and then opened the book, which said to just “expect what you want to come to you, and it will.” He expected to get food, and then we went and bought groceries…Does that count?
After church we checked out some cool bookstores on Young Street. We didn’t see anything worth buying though so we caught the subway home while occasionally falling in and out of sleep mode. We made it though, far enough to flop down on the air mattresses and pass out until about 8pm that night. Just another productive nap before going back to the studio on Monday.
So to sum up Sunday in two main points: sleep is great, and don’t read “The Secret.”
Oh and I didn't have any pictures from today so I grabbed two random ones off of the computer. Enjoy!
Goodnight,
