The church year is nearly complete, and you can sense the lightness in people's attitudes as they plan for their summer fun, but I feel like the kid who's going to be left behind at boarding school. The people I love and care about are all leaving for holidays soon. They need a break to rejuvenate their souls. What they are breaking from is what has been feeding my soul, my needs. The community that gives me strength wants to break apart for the very reason I wish it were staying together.
Suddenly I no longer feel like I'm standing on as solid ground as I thought I was.
Does the church actually close for the summer?
