I'm going through sort of a funk right now. I think it has a lot to do with the holidays.
My father is Jewish and my mother is Italian. I was raised Messianic but recently have been attending a really nice church for a variety of reasons. The main being that I own my own business that requires me to work on Saturdays.
The funny thing is that I have never completely felt comfortable in a church. I often don't have a lot in common with people I meet there. Does anyone else feel this way? I think its more of a personality trait. I get along really well with my Jewish clients - we share a sense of humor. The church I attend now, more than any others I have been at, is much more comfortable for me. They really celebrate the arts and music, and I feel like I have things in common with the people I meet who go there. But I still feel like something is missing.
Its this time of year that I feel sad that I don't have any Jewish influence in my life. Anyone else experiencing anything similar? Any thoughts or advice?
