I went to Mass this morning. I feel much better now. Sometimes I forget how good it makes me feel. I should remember more. It was like a weight had been lifted from my rather heavy shoulders. I'm glad I went.

Good for you! I appreciate very much that you understand the essence and power of what genuine worship- connection with God- is about. So many of my fellow Protestants seek entertainment, an outward emotional high, as an understanding of a meaningful worship experience. To encounter God, as I understand it, does something to the heart and soul far different than the result of a religious pep rally. Worship is an amazing and moving experience. You've inspired me!

Oh boy... I just got caught up on your blog... Here I was feeling a bit over-whelmed, and now...
I don't know if you can appreciate that by sharing your life the way you do makes mine a whole lot easier to appreciate. (I'm laughing with you, and praying, too)

I was in the doc's office yesterday, and read an article in Time (or U.S. News) about how some protestant denominations are turning to a more spiritual worship and away from the superchurch entertainment worship. I found it interesting. perhaps you will as well. or, (15 minutes later...) perhaps you won't. I can't find it anywhere. perhaps I imagnined it? no. I will stop by the docs and find out the date and link it to you.

Alright, by now you've had time to attend Mass at least a dozen more times. The Priest, does he have a sense of humor? Tell us about him/her. Write something, please....
