My mom texted me since I haven't called her in a while to say that she loves me.
I called her on my ride home from work, but Dad picked up instead. We made small talk.
Dad: Did you go to church on Easter?
Letopho: Nope
Dad: why not?
Letopho: Because I didn't want to
Dad: you should try to go to church, you don't have to attend the mass, just walk in for a couple of minutes.
I thought to myself how sad this was. "Just walk in. You don't have to attend mass." I feel like my dad is trying as much as possible to get my body in a religious facility so that he can get the credit from Jesus and get his Good Catholic certificate to graduate into heaven. We had a similar conversation last Easter. Sorry dad.
I'm going to blame my A.D.D. on this. Church is like driving. I pray that I was already at my destination during the entire processes.
I proceeded to tell him that there are 5 churches on my street and one new one that just erected:
"The $7.6 million chapel replaced the existing church on the same site in the southern edge of Echo Park." According to The Eastsider.
Jimmy and I got a little tour when they had their little welcoming. They told us about a youth program that is target towards the age range of "18 to unmarried."
Utterly brilliant.

Ern told me that this church chain(?) Church of Christ is notorious for being anti-gay. Man, I don't know what better way to spend my Sunday - Eggs Benedict (thanks Ryan) or taking a stroll backwards from progression.
Yes yes. Not all Catholic/Christian churches are like this, but I'd like to generalize so that I can focus my worship on Fierce Leotard Dance and Sunday Brunch. Hallelujah!
I hope this tour counts towards my dad's Catholic credit.

your dad is awesome.
Sounds like you are in the Construct A Church A Day zipcode
I think they meant to describe the target audience for the youth program as "18 till straight"...
