So here at my uncles for one of my cousins birthday(she's 9).Do you mean 9, or 36?
I always thought churches were germ factories but this just means it probably doesn't matter for most of those people anyway.
a lot of churches make hand sanitizer readily availableReadily available and people using it does not always go together.
It used to be a normal thing for families to hold hands while praying. It's very unlikely that if you had participated the germs would have killed you.It would not, but doing this regularly over a long period of time definitely is going to spread germs you otherwise wouldn't spread.
Readily available and people using it does not always go together.
I mean you can use it if you're that worried about itNot a normal practice for us and the guy leading the prayer was my older cousins husband, and him not being very articulate made it a 2 minute speech of sentences all saying the same thing.
it's a weird thing to be weirded out by to me but it's a pretty normalized practice for me
I think you overestimate my level of "chill" . I find their practice unsanitary and their prayer hollow but I don't think I was ever unchill about it.
but also, chill out
Always throws me off when I go out for lunch or dinner with the future in-laws and they say grace before we can eat. I never say anything and just kinda stare at the floor but it just feels weird and awkward.That's a perfectly fine way to handle it. Sorry it feels awkward but they likely appreciate you going through the motions.
happy ermine birthdayHappy belated :(
