This could go under Spirituality, but it’s also more about relationships. This is a vent.
I’m not at church much in from after Easter through late October due to diving. Maybe 1-2 times a month. Close friend is retired and very involved. Has gotten very concerned I’m not in church much, Satan is using my diving “passion” to lead me astray, that sort of thing. Friend is an older woman who is very attached to her Eastern European ethnic heritage (born in US) and pays much attention to spiritual figures popular in her country of heritage. Very conservative and traditional.
I just thanked her for her concern and said I’m doing fine. but what I find interesting that there are others we’re close to who are gone from church often due to extensive travels, a sailboat hobby, etc, yet she had no response when I asked her if she was concerned with these others missing services a lot.
Just venting. People can get weird ideas in their heads.
