Tim McGraw, Still

There's a place I like to go,
Where the stainglass windows glow,
And every part of me is known.
Thank God I can go there...

I take the kids to church when we can get going in the morning. Of late, by the time Sunday rolls around I'm in desparate need of a day at home, so we haven't made it as often as I'd like. I'm not a huge believer that church is necessary for spiritual life - I think spending the afternoon in the backyard with the family can be more effective than a sermon - that is if the kids' aren't at each others' throats and have somewhat acceptable behaviour. That said, I love this verse as it rings true... the thought that I am KNOWN inside and out, and still accepted and loved is powerful to me. And safe.
