Chapter 12 – Church

Rayne took Jack for a walk the next day and realized it was Sunday as she walked past a few churches. It was still a couple hours before any services would be starting. Rayne paused to let Jack sniff around the flower bed of the church and looked up at the tall spire and the sign that said, Everyone Welcome. She had to admit she was a little curious. Growing up with her parents, she and Ivy had never gone to church. If asked, she would say that she thought of her parents as good people, but definitely not spiritual.

She began walking again and gnawed on her bottom lip as she thought about maybe going home, getting ready and going to church. She was making a lot of changes in her life. She was doing things she’d never dreamed of doing. And she loved it. She felt more alive and happier than she’d ever felt. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to broaden her spiritual horizons as well.

She nodded her head, decision made and turned around and began walking quickly back toward her home. She noticed as she reached her yard that Cleo and Ivy were up now and getting ready to walk the other dogs.

“You look like you’re in a rush. Where are you headed?” Cleo asked curiously.

Rayne paused and blushed a little wondering if Cleo and Ivy would make fun of her. “I’m going to church today. I just decided. There’s a little church down the road and it said everyone was welcome. I want to go try it out.”

She blushed as Ivy’s mouth fell open. All the way.

“You’re kidding me. We never go to church. Not even on Easter or Christmas. We always worship God from the bottom of a ski slope or while boating.”

Rayne reached down and petted Jack as she tried to figure out how to explain what she was feeling. “There have been so many experiences that I’ve missed out on. This is one of them. I’d like to know a little more about God. That’s all.”

Ivy blinked slowly, her eyes wide with shock as Cleo smiled and patted her shoulder. “Back home I always went. It’s good for the soul. Let’s go Ivy.”

Rayne raised an eyebrow at Ivy and watched as she looked conflicted. Ivy might not be the most spiritual person she knew, but she had a big heart and she was always curious about everything around her.

“Sure, why not? Let’s go check it out,” she said in an offhand way that had Rayne grinning.

“Excellent. While you guys walk the dogs I’ll make omelets. Sound good?”

Cleo and Ivy grinned and headed down the sidewalk. She smiled to herself as she turned and noticed all of the flowers that had been planted. Murphy’s Landscaping still had a long ways to go but they’d made a good dent. Monday Garrett was having the curbing guys show up. Her yard was on its way.

Rayne rushed to get ready for church, picking a conservative long navy skirt that flared at the knees, simple white sandals and a fitted white sweater.
