I prayed today...

I planned to go to the bank on lunch today and come right back to the office, but wound up going to the bank and then ending up at St. John's Cathedral.

The lights were off inside the church, but I saw the prayer candles were lit, so decided to go in. It was there that I knelt and prayed.

I can honestly say I have never gone to church on a non-Sunday just to pray, but today I just had the urge to go talk things out. I'm not one for bible beating, nor am I one to be all "Praise the Lord, Hallelujah" 24/7. However it just felt goo to be there and talk. And that is what I did. I talked.

I had my eyes closed for a while, and when I opened them, the lights were on. The organist was practicing (which was actually pretty cool to listen to). The best thing was, I was the only person there. There were a couple people who went to the prayer candles, but they left shortly after. So for about 15 minutes, I had the whole place to myself. Quite a reverent feeling I must say. And I will admit, after I left, I did feel a whole lot better. Maybe I'll have to try that tomorrow...
