46:5 "To whom will you liken me and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be alike?
Well last Sunday I made a really good decision! I went to the Catholic Church... Woah... So it started out being that me and Amy were talking about going to see Father Jay give his last service in Morehead, because we know him, but that's a enitrely diffrent story... I met Amy at the Methodist Church(my home church) we got in her car and left. And on the way there I got a funny feeling in the bottom of my stomach... I kinda wanted to back out of going to the service... We got there went in and I totally did not know what to do... We past the Statue of Mary and Christ and did not do the Cross thing... And then this lady came up to us handing us a book called Breakinig Bread 2008... I was wondering what this was... So I walked up to the doors of theh Sanctuary looked in and I saw familiar faces. And one stood out to me it was Lorna (she's in my extended family) I walked over to her and she said "what are you doing here" I replied, "I'm here to see Father Jay's last service" she was like "okay." Well sat down for a few minutes I was nervous, I dont know if Amy was nervous but she seemed pretty calm.
The service started (aka-Mass) We sung a hymn, then greeted each other, and me and Amy totally messed that up...lol... And then the church recited the Apostles Creed which I already know, because my church recites it, and then we started reciting the Lord's prayer but we got to the last verse and it totally changed... And I still kept on going while everybody else was saying something totally diffrent.... Amy smerked at me. Then we sung another hymn and that led to the sermon. Father Jay's sermon was great, I cant really remember it know because its been about 4 days ago but it touched my heart. It was not what I was expecting... After Father Jays touching sermon communion was served but me and Amy did not take communion because we was not Catholic, but during communion, one of the choir ladys sung a song in Latin, which was very beautiful! Then they did the offortory and sung another hymn and the service was over.
After going to the Catholic Church I went to my home Church which is the United Methodist Church, We had Wesley Covenent Service. Wesley Covenent Service is a day in which you remember your Baptism. I guess basically renew your vowes to God.
All in all, this story is basically about how we are not that diffrent from each other. We worship the same God and Jesus. I was just expecting something totally diffrent at the Catholic Church. I thought that Father Jay was going to refer to the Pope the whole time during his service.. I was wrong. The Pope is just the leader of the church, just like John Wesley to the Methodist Church(well know the Arch-Bishop is over the church). But know my views have changed thanks to God!
