I have not been able to post but I have been blogging in my mind daily. In recent months I have had opportunity to worship in a vast array of places. I have been in an outdoor setting in Hawaii, inner city churches both of main line and conservative evangelical persuasions, I have been in make shift buildings and in school gymnasiums. All had aspects I liked and there were many parts that were neither right or wrong but I left wondering: Why? I have no answers just more questions. In two thousand years since Jesus claimed, "He that has seen me has seen the Father", we are still trying to make sense of that. But in all of our liturgy, pageantry, praising, choirs and bands they pale before the beauty of the sunrise that preceded them and the sun set that will follow. All of our "playing tea with our children" if you will, takes back seat to the "earth is filled with God's glory."
