May God's peace continue to guide your mind and heart, and may you know it.
What more could we need!
Where we visited yesterday:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne_Cathedral
It was a rainy day, which we heard was common for German summers.
Rain and coffee made me a little introspective in there.
So dry inside and I can't help but think of the woman at the entrance. Her sign was in German, but it's not like I couldn't understand her need. And anyway, a smile communicates a lot of places. Maybe she's not really poor. Maybe that doesn't even matter.
Am I warm and inviting? Do I welcome people with room to accept who they are, to give them time to think, process and develop?
What good is it for me to smile inside of this Church, to myself? Aren't I the Church? Does my 'chic,' dark sandstone cause people to think about and look to you?
What does it mean to 'finish a church?' What happens next? Do we stop growing? Then do we wrap up the fine details in order to welcome people in? Maybe it's neither good nor bad. But then what is it?
