Sunday Struggle

Time for the weekly (actually it's daily but I don't write about it every day) spiritual struggle.

Do I go to church or do I do some of the 1 MILLION things I'm neglecting around my home?

This is going to sound absolutely self righteous, but I feel like I live each day of my life serving God and praying and giving everything I have to do good work for my family and the community.  By the time Sunday rolls around, I am exhausted but still have tons of work to do b/c during the week I have largely ignored my obligation to keep my house clean!

So I stress out about not going to church and taking a little time to relax during the service and maybe gain some motivation and spiritual enrichment.  However, going to church takes about 2 hours time (getting showered, dressed, driving to and from, socializing, etc) and I could have one of the rooms in the house semi-cleaned in that time. 

So anyways, I'm trying to "clear my conscience" by saying I already did all my "God-work" this week and now it's time for "Family-work" (i only get "Me-work" time around 9ish at night when they all go to bed).

But briefly a little rant on some ridiculous (IMHO) religious people:
Noah’s Ark theme park project aims to show Bible’s stories true
see: http://thechronicleherald.ca/Religion/1259276.html

This just makes me mad (especially on a Sunday) when there are so many more important problems in the world that I believe God would want us to address. Who really needs another theme park and why do they use all their time & money to "prove" something from "history"? Why can't they use this money to feed to poor, heal the sick, clothe the naked, etc.??
