No elaborate story today, just a neat observation:

This morning my friend and I woke up late for church service, so we missed the yellow school bus headed there and had to resort to option B: my neighbor. After much wasted time of trying to wake him up via multiple phone calls and constant doorbell ringing and then his excessively long shower, we made it to church with only fifteen minutes of the service remaining.

Here’s what I saw: the sanctuary was past full capacity, to the point where several elder ladies had needed to pull up their own chairs to a side door cracked ajar and listened eagerly to God’s word in the isolation of the hallway. Us latecomers pulled up our own chairs and got to join that crowd.

It was really quite a beautiful image.

People drawn to God’s word. Eager hearts to learn. Physical limits not a stopping force. Sight not a necessity.

I want to join that crowd.
