I'm curious...how many of you sit in the same place in church, week after week, year after year?  How many of you sit in a different place?

When I go in to church services on Sunday, I usually sit in a different place because my husband wants to.  My family, when I was growing up, always sat on the right side of the church, the 5th pew back from the front.  I always thought this was rather silly, yet now in my current church, I feel the need to keep going back to the same spot, but because my husband always wants to sit in a different place, I restrain myself.  It isn't that I get a better view, or hear the preacher better.  It is more just a habit.

Do you prefer to sit in the back of the church, middle, or front and center?  What causes you to make that decision?

It really doesn't matter where we sit, just so long as we listen and worship with a joyful and honest heart.  But some people do get highly upset, "the pew squatters", is what I call them.  If you sit in the place where they usually sit regularly, then your name is mud.  If there are any pew squatters out there, I would be interested in knowing if you get upset if people sit in your regular place, and why.  Or perhaps people know not to sit in "your" spot?  Pew Squatters have Squatters Rights, so I guess there is an unspoken rule that 'thou shall not sit in a pew squatters pew'.

What do you think?
