Mom (accompanied by yours truly) went to church today for the first time since before Christmas. Normally, she and Dad stayed home at 'Bedside Baptist,' and visited several different services via tv.
It wasn't easy for her, but she stuck it out -- and seemed better for it.
Was it a coincidence that "In Christ Alone" was the starting hymn...when that was also the featured song at church in Colorado just before I left for VA? I think not.
