Thanks for pointing out that the church is diverse in race, thought, politics, and obviously, in deonomination and doctrine.

In my "own" little pew on Sunday mornings, I can mistakenly believe that church is all about what's happening under my nose at Our Savior's Lutheran Church. <br /><br />Your words set us straight.Jennifer @ JenniferDukesLee.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15934656581948719407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-38195701032651781602009-12-15T07:46:57.204-06:002009-12-15T07:46:57.204-06:00Wow, Glynn.

I love to discover poetry in prose, but not nearly as much as I love to discover another person with whom I'll spend eternity. The last half of your post is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen written about all my brothers and sisters, maybe even about me.<br /><br />Thank you. <br /><br />(Now to go wash off my make-up before I head to the next post. And by the way, next time you stop by my blog, scroll to the bottom and catch a picture of yet one more hymn.)<br /><br />[*gasp* No WAY I'm going to type "schicsms" as the word verification for this post!
