Place of Worship
Since when does it matter what the structure of your place of worship looks like? My mother in law watched the kids for the first time in about a year so my hubby & I can go out. She literally walked through the door & said there is mass at 5 pm up at the church, I am taking the kids, put some nice clothes on kids.
Not asking if we minded taking them Saturday night because maybe we like to go as a family on Sunday morning. So as fast as the dust cloud rolled in, I got the kids ready & the dust cloud rolled out.
So out everyone went, the grandparents & kids to church & the festival & mom & dad to the casino. We returned to our house by 9 pm or so (no it wasn't a long evening for us. We always feel rushed when the in laws actually watch the kids. That is a story for another time). We all sat & talked about our evening when my husband asked his devoted Catholic mother about our new church. Her response was "It reminds me of a Protestant church." Not once but several times she made the comment. My husband asked her does it matter what the building looks like? Her response was that it is not that traditional Catholic Church & the host sits further back & not up high.
If you are a true Christian, why should that all matter & bother someone? Isn't God everywhere? Where did people worship before they built churches? At least we go to a church. Give us some credit.
