Ever experienced God like this? Where have you seen God lately? (coolness- this article was posted today and relates to great conversation we had in "The Shack" book study today at the library.)

I was so overcome and blessed by the beauty before me that I stood there and cried. Right there in the hallway, by myself, while church was happening on the other side of the wall.
