I love that it was a both/and moment for you :-)<br /><br />Although I don't have nearly as deep history with the church/God that you do, I remember having a similar moment a few years ago attending church with my husband's family (who live in PA). My FIL is a Lutheran minister (now retired). My husband is the only one in the family who not only does not attend church, but who isn't religious at all. But when we're there we attend services with the family, out of respect. I finally realized that I didn't have to participate: I don't have to sing, I don't have to pray, I don't have to any of it. But I can allow those around me to sing and pray without placing my judgment on it. And in feeling confident about my choice not sing and pray, I don't have to feel judged or defensive. Sure, some might be judging me, but that's okay.~Karen C.L. Anderson~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12079770255834481857noreply@blogger.com
