Es...I found that to be a really touching post, SVG. Especially since, although I lived in the DC area for a time, I never did get around to going to the cathedral you mentioned, although of course it is a fairly prominent landmark. Perhaps one of the reasons I never quite fit it in to my many tours was the fact that I had not yet come to Christ at that time, and therefore found the Smithsonians and whatnot far more interesting. Hope you made it to the Holocaust Museum- now <I>that's</I> an amazing, heartwrenching experience.<BR/>Here's something totally unrelated, but something I've been asking everyone on my blogroll:<A HREF="http://theshackbook.com/" REL="nofollow">The Shack</A>. Have you read it yet? I don't know if you've read any of my rave reviews/ synopses (is that the correct plural form of synopsis? hope so) but if not, please do. I posted one on HBO's Sunday Wild Card which I really think sums up the story quite well. I suppose the writing isn't really all that spectacular (although IMO quite good), but the author gets major bonus points for originality, and although shockingly outside the norm in its descriptions of the Trinity and whatnot, it truly does seem to be scripturally sound.<BR/>All in all, I can't recommend it highly enough. Please go read it, if you haven't already... and if you have, participate in the Missy Project, as I'm trying to. They offer bulk discounts to private buyers- I bought four copies at cut-rate to donate to my church's library, as well as another copy for myself. And both are loaned out right now! Believers and nonbelievers alike, everybody is deeply affected by this book.<BR/>Anyway, God bless and keep on bloggin'!Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356791114742922477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860524748011385727.post-69755829447650556482008-07-26T22:51:00.000-07:002008-07-26T22:51:00.000-07:00Okay....

Wow..what a great one to go to first...I hope you'll go to St. John's in Spokane one day...it's the cathedral for the Diocese of Spokane, which includes the Silver Valley..and it's a wonderful structure.raymond perthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924633611890299829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860524748011385727.post-82941041982752043632008-07-24T22:08:00.000-07:002008-07-24T22:08:00.000-07:00Oh... that was moving just reading about it.

I can only imagine what it was like to be a part of such a service. <BR/><BR/>I love that God's message was the same at your home church and at our nation's Capitol. I believe God is bringing all of us a message of sharing hope with those who may have lost all hope. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your thoughts and pictures.Nita Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763053063410716010noreply@blogger.com
