Love this! Our couple timed attending church in NYC changed Dave and I forever. We will never forget them. We just went to church in France. I almost cried and I personally understood only about .05% of it. lol

And need some creative problem-solving challenges??? Come on over to my house! LOL

Tears came to my eyes as memories flooded my mind while reading yours. I spent a few years (not long enough) in Los Angeles where we had everyone from Disney stars to world-renowned geneticists and a weird divorcée who worked for the Feds who all smiled and laughed and struggled together. It was there I learned that we are all alike unto God and that those with the least often have the most to teach us.

THANK YOU for this. You fed my soul today!

Teared up through this whole thing. The church ladies, the NYC marathon, the kids playing at the church meet-ups, the long bus rides to church, PROSPECT PARK on Sunday, the people, on and on. Very special and unique and lucky. I'm so grateful I got to be a part of it during that period of time.

Me too. That's my primary feeling. What a gift. And, as Dickens said, "One always begins to forgive a place as soon as it's left behind." ;)
