The "connection", whatever the location, is what it is all about.....Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302132941940784968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5466234171600436320.post-41315581374954791972009-08-24T12:55:35.436-04:002009-08-24T12:55:35.436-04:00My dad said at one point that it is beneficial to ...My dad said at one point that it is beneficial to pray in groups....the "corporeal" experience.

I know people who say "I can't believe that you go to church almost every Sunday". I tell them "I don't go because someone tells me to go, I go because I want to go".<br /><br />Tonight I will center with friends. It has been a long time for that too.Kathryn Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757414380685368592noreply@blogger.com
