Yesterday was an absolutely crazy day full of plans disruption, unplanned changes and a hall of stress which resulted in headache; headache so much that my vision became blurry even with my glasses on...I got so tired that I couldn't think straight anymore as to finish the half way written article from previous day but had to settle for writing a new one because completing the previous one would have been another hall of stress because I was writing it based on research and had to add some quoted texts from psychological experts which I hate so much, it required critical thinking, and would have taken even longer hours to complete; those hours I didn't have because I spent most of my day seated on a wooden chair in church (the typical ancient church setting) which was really uncomfortable but had to simply play along hashtag "it was my uncle's church". Let's get into short story of the unplanned detour....
Yesterday was a sunday; don't blame me for being "captain obvious", I'm simply walking through... every normal individual on the planet attends only one church on sundays but as the absolute weirdo that I am, I had to attend three separate church services in different places; a decision I'd never make out of my high degree of logical reasoning but it I didn't have a choice due to the following reasons;
I do not attend my uncle's church hence I went to mine after which I joined my Uncle in his church with the hope that we'd be going home together afterwards.
My church rounds off the program much earlier than his hence I attended two church services- mine and his.
It turned out that that my Uncle's church had an ordination program at the district headquarter hence they all had to attend the program as well; leaving me with no choice but to go with them hash-tag I didn't want to be the black sheep (I obviously am..haha) hence I attended three churches altogether.
The third program for me was an absolute waste of time; I still can't imagine a simple ordination program lasting for 5 hours+ (12 pm to 5pm +); it all comes down to one thing- lack of discipline and time management as most of the events were prolonged unnecessarily, the prophecy session which should have simply been a 10 minutes event turned lasted for about 45 minutes +; the prophet spoke really slowly (20 seconds per word) and the interpreter spoke extremely slowly which was really annoying.
"The above bird looks angrier than I was"
The offering session was prolonged as well amd this was repeated up to about three times which was really weird for me; aftwrall it's a church and not a fund raising organisation or a non-governmental organisation for orphanage homes... I'd rather not talk about these or I'd end up with a two thousand word long article about how bad the church system of the country is and how it rips its members of their hard earned money while claiming it's for the greater good of prosperity and financial stability.
In fact I was pissed off when the ordained ministers were asked to hold a bowl each for the church to make contributions; another money making mechanism, all I could think about was the beggars on the street; the only difference is the Beggars aren't putting on those extra large coats and white neck collars used for identifying pastors and prophets in old fashioned Pentecostal churches (name withheld).... in the end the church is only motivated by money and nothing more.....
Love of money plus.. ladies are not allowed to climb the altar or preach because they are sinful but are allowed to sweep the same alter after the church service is over; where did their sins go when the time for sweeping came? All hypocritical acts due to lack of exposure to the revelation of the gospel... (name withheld once again)...
"I'd rather stop here before I cause a rap battle....haha"
The ordination was done and each member of the church had to go out one after the other to congratulate them on stage (which I didn't do as I didn't care); it's all crap for me because it was all a time wasting activity; the program was done in a very old fashioned way and I could have simply pressed the forward button if I had the power to alter time and space...
It was stress altogether and I got home few minutes past 6pm; had a lot of headache from the stress plus the weird pattern of service which I didn't enjoy; had a heavy headache which blurred my vision, got so tired and didn't publish an article until few minutes to midnight; an article titled "".
Slept afterwards- a very rough night and woke up tired this morning; almost like I haven't slept at all.
When you sleep well they say you "slept like a baby" but what if you didn't? Would we say "I slept like an adult?" thus begging the question "how do adults sleep?"
