IN CHURCH
WITH OLD AND YOUNG
AND ALL THE IN BETWEEN

In church one can hear the sounds of high heels -
as well as canes and creaking scraping aluminum
walkers - as well as babies cries and lots of “Hi’s!”

In church one can catch the whole human family - the
young, the old, and all the in betweens - celebrating
together this great gift of life with the eyes of faith.

In church one can see candles, stained glass windows,
benches and benches of people - folks in pulpits making sounds from Bibles and prayers from holy altars.

In church one can realize this is one big crying room -
babies out loud - and silent screams from widows and
widowers at funerals and tears of joy at weddings.
