Church seemed to be a place you went to on Sunday, but somehow God was just left there, and you went and visited him for an hour on Sunday. I finally just quit going to church. As an adult, I decided God did not spend much time in Church Himself. He has always seemed more real, more present to me while I am working in the garden or taking care of the animals or while I am standing and admiring His sunrises and sunsets and the amazing workings of nature. Your last line just caught my eye: "Come out from among them...says the Lord." Perhaps I "came out from among them" a long time ago. I have always thought there was something wrong with me. I do not fit in and I never have, although I spent a good bit of time trying to fit in the world, until I came to realize I was simply wallowing in sin and soul sickness. I tried church again and left again. I do not fit in the world and I do not fit in the church either. I was told I worship the creation and not the Creator. I do not see it that way. The sheep are being separated from the goats. The Shepherd is calling. I read the headlines and I look at the world around us and all I can think is, God help us.
