Fourth Sunday in Lent - in Minneapolis

The Fourth Sunday in Lent was wonderful, very interesting, and: AT HOME.

I spent the morning attending worship at Mount Olive. Beautiful liturgy, done by all. It is a wonderful thing to participate as a person-in-the-pews, witnessing the depth of meaning brought to the song, actions, and entire flow of the liturgy through the worshipers themselves. I am absolutely lucky to be able to "hang my hat" at this place, and associate with these people.

The afternoon I attended the NLC concert - again; as a person-in-the-pews. I had intentionally not studied the music they were to perform so that I would experience the concert truly as most audiences do. It was deeply moving, and again: I'm such a lucky person to be able to associate with these talented, spiritual beings.

What the day really taught me is this: We have some of the best and deepest of things are right here in this river-city. One doesn't need to travel the world to find it. It's here.

Savor.
