the real word what's up with that reality check

If Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest, why do I have to drag myself out of bed and go to Church? How restful is that?

Your youth minister asks you to be on the planning team for a retreat. You want to, but already have a full-load of responsibilities. So, you say:
a. Wow, that would be so cool! Of course.
b. Can I have a week to think and pray about it?
c. No, I have too much on my plate already.
d. I would have to drop something I am already doing to consider this.
