Mitzvah'd

We had to miss Church on Saturday for a Bar Mitzvah Celebration that we had been planning on going to for some time.

It was fun and we have known the family for about, hmmmm, maybe 15 years now. So there, we have known the Mitzvahee since he was born. It was cool to hear some of the things he said and his parents said about him publicly.

It was also kind of nice, in the culture-less lifestyle we have found ourselves in, to take in some other cultural stuff. When we lived elsewhere, we were much more in touch with other cultural groups and here it seems like a white haven.

Even our Church in Sacramento was more homogeneous. A good 30 to 40 percent of the Church was other ethnic backgrounds. Primarily Asian and Hispanic. But, it seemed to mirror the area and made Church more fun. Ok, our Church was only, on average, attended by 150 to 200 people, but that means 50 to 80 were non-whitish on any given Sunday. Not that I really judge, notice, treat, talk differently, or whatever people based on their ethnic background or whatever. I just get a little scared when everyone is white.

Our Pastor talked about wanting to become more multicultural at our Church. I am looking forward to that.
