A Nice Church Service

Today's church service was rather nice... it opened with Lord of the Dance, a great song... closed with On Eagles Wings, and was otherwise delightful. Good sermon, too... they were talking about how americas culture is so extremely focused on being powerfull - economically, physically, all of that - and then there was this really nice metaphore about that church in england, made from the stones of Hadrians wall. The architect wanted to do something no one had ever done before; to have a central dome without pillars holding it up. But they kept telling him it was impossible, so he eventually used pillars. 800 years later, while renovating the church, they unpealed some flagstones and found that one of the pillars was standing on nothing. They unpeeled more and found that instead of holding the ceiling up, all of the pillars were hanging from the ceiling.

After that it was helping with 3 year old sunday school... and I think I picked up a new babysitting client despite there being 2 of us and 20 of them we survived. ^^
