I went to Lutheran Worship tonight. It was so wonderful. I felt close to God, I felt filled, I felt loved at that service. The pastor and people there are so welcoming. They genuinely are glad to see you. The music was great as always. The standard piano, guitar, singers and this week drums too - who could ask for more (maybe an electric guitar and screaming riffs and more volume, but maybe I'll just provide that with my loud singing.) Sang a bunch of eviljellocult goodies/favorites. Stuff you can sing along to without looking at the overhead projection. Yea. just stand there with your eyes closed, your head lifted to the sky and sing your heart out to God! That is what I have been missing. The sheer joy of singing at church. My whole body responds, my skin warms and tingles, my heart beats faster my face smiles, my toes tap, I sway and have the desire to open my hands - which i stiffled tonight. I was already singing loud enough wouldn't want to draw too much more attention to myself by being all charismatic and stuff. message was good prayers were prayerful and genuine. peace was reaffirming - good to see you's all around. It was really nice to sit in worship and just be in God's presence. To forget about the outside world for a bit and just be.
