Today was a great day. Why, you ask? No, it was not because I stalked Meri while she studied. Today was a great day because I Skyped with Pete Miro. For a good hour and 8 minutes. It was epic. We even took a picture as a memory. Good times. We talked about life, Bert's Market, Mountain Dew, Lucille Ball, blogs, beer and church. Pretty wide berth of material. We're just that cool. It was also pretty cute, like old times.... (If in the old times we actually had Macbooks with built in video cameras.) The moral of this story is I got a great point of view from Pete on Syezd and church... a typical Miro point of view... One that I definitely agree with a lot of the time, but can also disagree with at times. Here it is, lightly paraphrased: "I would always go to church if it was like... you know... a massive service. Like with 60 people in the choir! If it was a bigger event all the time, and people celebrated the idea of prayer and church more often, more people would come. You're standing in church and praying, but it's more than just that. It needs to stimulate the senses, that's why there's incense and singing. That's why everyone always shows up on big holidays."
That, ladies and gentlemen, is a quote I shall be using in my review of the Youth Symposium from last week. Hope you have a great night!
Love this post.
