like a breath of fresh air

and by fresh air, i really mean fresh, fresh air! we visited an anglican church this morning, which was a little different than what i am used to. but we both absolutely enjoyed our time of worship and study. from the moment we walked into the sanctuary, there was a feeling of reverance. ask me to describe it and i couldn't, i've been trying to put more words to it all afternoon...but not much has come to me. the whole service felt very focused and purposeful, which was a little refreshing compared to some of the other churches we've visited (not all have been bad, but some have been...). as we shared in communion together at the end of the service, tears came to my eyes because it was all such a beautiful thing. i felt more connected with other believers than i have the whole time we've been here... and we didn't really know any of the people (just two old friends!). all that to say, it was really nice...and that's all i'll say, for now...
until next time...

I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the service. Isn't it a wonderful thing to offer our worship to our Savior and come away feeling refreshed? We talked about this in Sunday School today. So many miss the boat when it comes to this. They go to church to "get something" instead of offering something - offering our worship, praise, reverance, praise. Thanks for sharing.
Hope school is still going well for Ryan.
