Hope

I attended Hope Church today with my roommates, a small relatively liberal church that is a block from my house.

Beyond the topic of the sermon, I appreciated being in a traditional religious atmosphere again, singing songs about God and Jesus, which I have not done since college and most importantly, praying with a large group of people for the good of the world and those we love.

I found myself responsive today as I tried to "break apart the hard parts of the heart" and find a deeper acceptance of myself and others. I am not sure I will return to this specific church immediately, but after my experience today I will most definitely prioritize attending some form of religious service during each week.

Hope your day today has at least one joyful moment!
