# Sunday Sermons

I've spent a fair amount of time drafting my journey from being a Chistian since youth to my decoversion, and to my new take of Christian faith. But I realized there aren't much intesting things to say, or rather I don't know how to make them sound intriguing. Maybe I'll come back to work on my draft again in the future.

Nonetheless I would be using this gemlog as a journal for the Sunday sermons. For more than a decade I've been in the same church listening to the same pastor preaching. I've attended so many Sunday services that I become calloused to these messages. But something dawned on me in the last church retreat in July. Why did so many people from abroad willing to sacrifice their time and money just to join our church retreat in particular? Perhaps I'm missing out something valuable despite being in the same church for so long. I probably should be paying more attention to each Sunday service.

Another reason for starting a Sunday service journal so that I'm a bit more occupied and don't take out my phone as often during services. Although my pastor discourages us using phones during services, he doesn't forbid the congregation to us it either. I've already spent too much on my phone during weekdays not being productive. Instead continue to doom scroll at church, I should be activily engaging with that my pastor is preaching.

Due to the nature of this gemlog being personal, much of what I've written may make little sense to outsiders. Perhaps some of entries may make little to no sense to the person writting them as well.
