Beautiful thoughts. A church is not holy. There are some sad, empty churches out there. But the gathering of believers, the "church = the bride of Christ" is high holy. When we gather together in worship, the Spirit draws near, teaching, elevating, restoring, uniting. He does it on beaches, too!: celebrating and refreshing the marriages and hearts that seek Him. Your post reminds me of a Chris Rice song, "My Cathedral." Not foresaking the necessity and privilege of the gathering of disciples, an occasional Sabbath spent enjoying God, soaking up His creation, sounds purely, and not coincidentally, therapeutic. Which reminds me of another song, "Art In Me," by Jars of Clay. Seems I'm feeling feeling musical today!
