Corrin, Ethan and I went to the National Day of Prayer community prayer service last Thursday. It was an amazing experience. As we walked up, a man who had been walking ahead of us along the sidewalk stopped and pulled out his shoffar and began to blow it in all directions as a call to prayer. With people streaming in from all sides, it was a mighty picture. As we came up to the State House, there was a young woman on the lawn dancing as she sang quietly along with her Ipod. People were already beginning to pray together. All around was such wonderful camaraderie and friendship. We were all there for the same purpose, gathering for the same reasons. It did not matter that we did not know each other or were all from different walks of life. It did not matter that we were of different races and denominations. We love and worship the same God and we were coming together in His name. Tears surprised me by welling up in my eyes. All I could think was, "This is how it was meant to be."
