The Cloud of Doom

In the sanctuary at church, we have a huge window with a huge cross hanging in the window that is behind the stage. Today during service, the sky kept getting darker and darker and darker and darker and... Well, you get my meaning. It was a tad bit distracting. At one point, it almost looked like it was night time out. But it was also a good reminder that when the storms of life come, if I cling to the cross and what Jesus has done for me, I will always be on solid ground.

Other distractions in church today:
1. The little girl sitting two rows up. She was dressed in a super cute, very girlie dress. And she was pulling dinosaurs out of her super cute, very girlie purse.

2. The thunder that accompanied the cloud of doom.

3. The songs in the bulletin (technically not a distraction since I read them before the service began). But, you know the game where you change one letter in a word to make a new word? The songs in the bulletin kind of reminded me of that. The songs went from "Our God" to "How Great is Our God" to "How Great Thou Art" to "Your Great Name".
