This weekend Rick and I attended a christening service for a friend's baby at St. James Parish in Seattle. Now I have been to two Catholic wedding's and a Catholic funeral, so I sort of knew what to expect at the service. As we walked into the HUGE and I stress huge b/c I have never seen a Catholic church this big in all of my life....I was waiting for the Pope to walk in! Anyway, as we walked into the service I was overtaken by the beauty of all of the pillars and stain glass everywhere. The organ was playing loudly and the congregation begin to sing in unison a song I had never heard before.
I stood there looking around (like a child at a museum), and I wondered how many of these people around me really know what a relationship with Jesus feels like?!! I know that there are many Catholics who have a loving relationship with Jesus and have asked HIM to be Lord of their lives, but I also know there are many that just make Sunday morning Mass there routine without any emotion or connection made during their entire time in church. As I had that thought I begin to pray for those around me, and then it hit me it's not just people in the Catholic church, but people in every church around the world that need to know Jesus as their personal Savior! Even people in Assemblies of God Churches (the denomination I grew up in) there are "lost" people who make Sunday services a routine and never really connect with God!
Since attending that service on Sunday I have a renewed desire to pray for the who don't know Jesus and for those who have grown complacent in their walk with the Lord. May we hunger and thirst for Jesus more and more each day!!

Catholics do have beautiful churches...I love when they have a bell ringing outside of them. I often wonder myself how many have realtionship with the Lord and how many go through the rituals....then I equate it to my devotions. How many times do I do it to hear from God and how many times do I do it just to do it and say it's done. Thanks for this blog, it helped me to challenge myself!
