We had just listened to a beautiful service. Our hearts were full of God's love. Peace was given amongst all of us. We sang hymns beside each other. You get the idea. A bunch of us were talking and a woman walked over, spoke to us, and then walked away. The moment she left a women remarked, "Can you believe she wore that to church?" The other women immediately began to gossip about her. I told them I couldn't believe they could be so mean, especially while standing in the aisle of their church, and decided that my best path to God was through my own connection through prayer. I understand that this was an isolated incident and not a portrayal of that church or any others, it was a merely a sign for me that I was talking to God in the wrong place.<br /><br />Over the years I've gone to a local church when I've had questions etc. and I don't know what the future holds, but for now, I'm happy reading my Bible and Book of Common Prayers at home.<br /><br /><a href="https://helpingpartnersofsexaddictsheal.org/" rel="nofollow">Elsie </a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822869016413307981.post-87676000336184986852018-05-31T00:01:50.699-04:002018-05-31T00:01:50.699-04:00Interesting post!
