Thank you for sharing. Like you I am surrounded by diverse people. When I need to find balance in my life I find it in my faith and the occasional church service.
You are so right about the feeling you can get in a church. I went to Catholic school and we had to go to church a lot......a real lot. I now know that, that experience has shaped the way I am today. And although I wasn't always feeling it at the time, I would never change that experience. I love being spiritual, it is so breath taking:) ~Debra Blog:Capers of the vintage vixens
I find when I'm away from church for more than a few weeks I start to feel unbalanced...there I go the unbalanced thing again. It's the only way to explain it. I try to keep everything even. It's work in progress for sure. I'm glad you're feeling inspired in church!
The church community is very important to me but even more important are the sacraments which I absolutely need to feed my spirit, I think we all find the niche we each need for balance in our lives.......:-) Hugs
God's Word says to not forsake the gathering of the people. I think fellowshipping of believers is critical to our growth.
I have been in the church all of my life. I have found different ways of worship and learned the critical thing is have God there in the midst of it.
It's so not about the building or the day, but like you said, it's about the 6 other days as well. We are called to live out a life of reflecting Him 7 days a week. We just get the added bonus of church and hearing the Word which then brings about faith, the foundation of it all.
I lived in WI for a short time and found the best church. I loved it so much and they welcomed me and my kids with open arms. I've yet to find that back here in central MO.

I'm happy for you! That your religion gives you joy.
