What Is Your Normal Sunday Schedule?

Connie, The Bibles says 'If the right hand offends thee - cut it off andif the right eye offends thee - pluck it out' - if being online seems to be a sin to you and you feel you might succumb to the urge then pray until the urge passes.

I devote time to worship, praise, prayer and study everyday but until recently while dealing with Hubby's accident (and some morning sickness) I was also online everyday as well - but always had something else going at the same time - baking a cake, running the washer or dishwasher, making phone calls, etc.,

If you feel so guilty about what has happened may I suggest you figure out what you earned today on My Lots and give something extra in the offering plate next Sunday?

8:30 service! We like that one because it's the traditional and it keeps us more to our regular weekday schedule. Then coffeetime with everyone before Sunday School, and out to eat and run errands for a while. Then we lazy around or do chores, whatever needs to be done before the week starts. Well. Whatever has to be done before the week starts, lol...

Connie, I think you maybe just felt weird because church was cut short. When we can't go for some reason we have regular TV preachers we like, and we all settle down and watch them together, and that helps keep us on track for the week. :) God still loves you, sweetie--you never know, there might have been someone who needed to hear from you (and Him!) today out in cyberspace. Debra had a good idea, though--I never knew a church that couldn't make good use of a little extra!

I sleep, do laundry, spend time with my grandson and play online.

I like to spend Sunday having a leisurely breakfast then going to church at 11 followed by dinner with family and an afternoon and evening spending time with family. However, since my husband died, the house is empty so there is nobody to spend the time with. I do not feel guilty abut fellowshipping with online friends. Your rule sounds self-imposed rather than biblical to me. Debra's idea of giving today's earnings in the offering plate next Sunday is a good one. It will assuage your misplaced guilt and help the church at the same time. Of course, pray about these guilty feelings,s too, because the Lord loves you and will answer all sincere prayer when offered with a true heart and in the name of Jesus.

Sunday, like Saturday is family time when my husband is off work. We do family stuff, play online and enjoy each other's company.

This time of year we rarely do anything as there's just nothing to do. However in nicer weather we might add a trip to the zoo or park to the routine. Also, I do the same work online that I do every other day of the week.

Lydia,
I think you may be right. I am a schedule person and my schedule was knocked off by church closeing early.

Dorine,
I do set rules and goals for myself on things that are important to me. I try to be the best that I can be. So in order to do this I set goals and try to reach them.

I spent part of the day on gather and part at my best friend's house helping her find her scrapbook stuff. We aren't done, but we found quite a lot of it.

Since Sunday isn't actually a Sabbath, I don't feel the least bit guilty about having fun and doing non-churchy things when it's not church time. That being said, we do go to both services on Sundays.

If I were snowed in or whatever, as long as we were well, we would probably devote time to prayer and study together. Not a replacement for church at its full effect, but as long as we did the best we could I'm sure Gog would be pleased.

But after that, no problem with doing other stuff.

And I can't BELIEVE I just misspelled "God"! ARGH. LOLOLOL

We go to the 9:30 am mass. Usually our son's godparents go to breakfast with us. It's a nice tradition we started before we even had kids! We met while in RCIA and have had so much fun as couples and now as families.

Sunday is a day of rest and relaxation. Usually we don't go anywhere else and we all take a nap. Hubby will watch football, but usually we try to limit TV. With the games yesterday that wasn't going to happen. Usually the internet is limited, but I was bored because of the TV games and no hubby to talk to.

Its insane! Its always insane! mwahahahahaha - er...what was the question again? :)

Connie- you can always hang out somewhere like LDS Families on Gather online if you do get online on Sunday! LOL

Capeach, LOL I did go to the church website and also kzion and listen to music. I love Kzion's internet music

Connie , don't sweat that you come online on Sundays ! We are not under the law . Sunday is not actually the Sabbath , it is the Lord's day. We put set aside that day to go to church . My husband is the minister so we are in the morning and evening service . Sunday afternoon is spent relaxing . He usually watches a foot ball game and falls to sleep. I go online and visit at Gather and read my email and usually fall asleep .

We go to church, come home eat, watch some TV, then take a nap. : )
This is what makes life interesting, everyone is different. Differences doesn't mean anyone is wrong though. We have to follow our hearts and what the Lord tells us to do. Being at church isn't the same as not being thre, BUT it is however only a building and one can worship God anywhere anytime. : )

I attend LDS Church each Sunday, 9:30, I try to get there early because I am the libraian, which I enjoy very much. I leave Church around 1:30, go home, change into my house dress, fix a quick bite to eat, and turn on the computer to check email. Go on Gather to see who posted what and I might add a comment or two. Then I take a much needed nap!

I spend the day doing homework, housework, and playing with the kids

I am at church for the 10AM service. After that I go home and read and nap or go visit my dad or sister. Then I'm back at church for 6PM service. Go home and read then go to bed. Sometimes I play games on my computer. I don't have internet access at home. So, sometimes I come to the office to get online, or will take my laptop and go to a Wi-Fi hotspot and get online that way.

Sundays are for long lazy naps for me. I havn't been in a church for 20 years, for various reasons, but tradition is a good excuse to NAP.

Connie, do what's right for YOU.

There is only one true Sabbath and that is Saturday the 7th day, Man not God changed the day to Sunday and God said his Sabbath day he said aside would be a sign between him and his people. It is not the Lord's day either other than manmade edicts. Christ did NOT rise on Sunday morning. He was crucified in the midst of the week, Wednsday, he was in the grave 3 days and 3 nights 72 hours, He arose sometime at the going down of the sun Saturday evening. The grave was ALREADY empty when Mary and Mary Magdelene arrived. I wish people would get this. Anyway sorry but Connie you did not break God's Sabbath by not attending church on a man made mandated day.

I have to work on Sundays, so try to attend church in the morning early before going to work. My church used to have a Saturday evening service which I liked but they dropped that and added another Sunday service.

My typical Sunday begins at 7:30 a.m. with me getting ready for church. Services start at 10:10 a.m. with meeting ending around 12:20. I stick around to help enter the donations into the computer. Sometimes, it means hanging around till 3:00 p.m.. Typically, I come home and do a quick check of my email. I have a dinner around 4:00. The rest of the evening is spent working on articles, poetry and just reading some of my natural history books. Not to mention watching Nature on my local PBS channel.

I love the new icon Connie and I think Jennine has hit the nail on the head!

The icon is my puppy "Wiley".

Sleep, family, cook, eat, exercise, work.

I love Sundays and try to worship and give praise in my own way, not only on Sundays but every day. Enjoy your moments, Connie, and remember somewhere in the world, it's probably Saturday, anyway! Salud.

Spend quality time with my fiance Matt, doing whatever. Lately we have been using Sundays to go look at houses and property.

Honestly. Usually we go to church in the morning and I spend the rest of the day cramming because I have something due every Monday in college.

This Sunday is going to be horrible. I am not looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to seeing my sis Dawne, but the rest is going to suck. We've got to load a moving van full of our other absentee sisters stuff ... I'd go into more detail but I'm tired of certain family members stalking me and talking about what I post online.
