That is beautiful, Rick. I've never read it before.
I remember when Robert Schuller opened his church up back in gosh, the 60s. It was an old drive in movie theater, and he stood up front and all the cars would put the speakers in the window and listen to his sermon. This was in Anaheim, CA. Within a few years, he opened his regular church, and today it is enormous. I've always loved his down to earth style, even once he hit weekly tv. He has retired recently, I read, and is passing the church on to his son to continue.
Anywho, thanks for sharing that, it really is beautiful. hugs, Wren
