What of liberty over restriction, and a dismissal of worldly culture, if only for a minute, if only for a thought, for we are not of this world. What of jubilant fraternity? It must be true! We are more than sinners saved by grace! We can escort heaven to earth. What is not possible with a communion of saints?

I think of that answered prayer, and suddenly my soul feels tugged to worship. To worship in spirit. To know that Christ opened the way...bridged the gap. Evermore
