6. If you don't want to go, don't go because

it's not about pleasing other people. Church-going is just one of the many
avenues to communing with God and other people, it's not supposed to be a guilt
trip. It's a means to an end, not an end in itself. Only God, creation, and loving other people is
in end in itself.

Don't feel guilty. Don't listen to guilt. Because if you are being truly called to something new
and wonderful in your spiritual life you don't want to cling to the wreckage so to speak.
