I would be lying if I said I always enjoy going to church. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy church if the atmosphere is right. I know it's not supposed to be strictly entertainment, but sometimes just the choir alone can determine if I enjoy my time there. The way in which a sermon is delivered is also important. Some pastors teach, some are more animated, while others fall somewhere between. My preference is for someone in between. Personality is important too. I enjoy those that have a sense of humor and know how to relate the Bible back to real life situations. Really the choir and the pastor are the only things that I base my feelings about a church on. So what do you do if you're Barack Obama? The pastor at his church has come under fire for saying things that some other pastor may be saying somewhere else. Just because you attend a church doesn't necessarily mean you agree with EVERYTHING the pastor says. It's impossible to find someone that you agree with on everything. I don't think that it's even an issue what the pastor says at a church that Obama has attended for years. It really feels like they have been looking for any reason to criticize him anyway. By "they" I mean the media. Now they're making a big deal about a "fist bump." Really? That's what they're worried about? That is the same reason why I don't think we're ready for a Black president. Everything he does that they don't understand will be magnified. I hope Obama is ready for an even crazier barrage leading up to November. But let me stop preaching........
