funny how my mind goes blank...as in vacant...free from irritation...restlessness....evil thoughts :> ....really....it is so peacefull, whenever i am inside a church...

i remember..the most peaceful moments of my life.....even in the midst of my confusing and angry adolescent years....depressive brokenhearetedness...once i step inside a church...i would find myself in great solace...tho the pain in my heart is undeniable so real i could hardly breath...finding myself inside a church would give me comfort and assurance that all the turbulence going on in my life...would soon end.

In my case, it is very true that churches are like hospitals. sometimes, when i go to the hospital, the mere sight of the building would "miraculously" bring back my strength. :>

Churches are the people that believe in God. But these edifices...both cathedrals and chapels alike... built as places dedicated in honor of God, and as places of worship.....are like patches of heaven here on earth.

Tho these are not exclusive to churches...but these are places where one can spend time alone with God.....pray and talk to Him...whether i am all alone inside, just sitting or kneeling down before the altar....or worshiping and singing in a congregation during a mass or service. :>

It's between me and God. and it is always a wonderful feeling to share this peace overflowing in me whenever ' saying "Peace be with you" and holding hands while singing the "Our Father"...
