Opus 2025-224: Going Pentecostal

Do you have a spot where you can retreat from the world?  You might have a garden bench you seek out.  It could be in your car driving through rush-hour traffic.  You might have a mountain top available.  For me my front porch in the early morning fits the bill.  Possibly there’s a room in your house.  But it is such a joy to have a place to retreat and cut loose.

In public I am pretty much a Presbyterian.  I will sing.  I will worship.  I will fellowship.  But I won’t get carried away.

In private all bets are off.  I see that on the porch as I talk to God.  I might occasionally burst out a song.  I will wave my hands.  I will walk around.  In short, I worship with no inhibitions.  Part of that is just the fact that I am an introvert.  Another part is that I want to make sure that my worship is genuine and I’m not putting on a show for other people.  Another part is I don’t want to distract other people in their worship.

However you slice it, however you dice it, in private, I have my times of being a Pentecostal.

So sue me.
