You're place of worship is a very sentimental thing. And even of you identify with a specific religion that doesn't mean that the service will be the same at different churches of the same belief. I guess I never realized just how different those services could be until I started to attend mass here in GA.
I've been to many different religious gatherings and have always found it easy to find "my God" even if I didn't identity 100% with the message being delivered. But something seems very different to me now that I'm an adult and looking for a church. I didn't only want to give thanks and pray, but I craved a sense of normalcy that comes with a weekly service and worship.
I did find a church that is close to our house and comfortable for us to go to as a family and am learning more about my husband and his relationship with God each week as we discuss the mass. The church we chose is beautiful and comfortable (they continually refer to the congregation as family) but its not the traditional mass I'm used to. So, while I have established a weekly routine of attending mass each week (with exception of this week since Caleb isn't 100%) nothing will come close to a Monday evening mass at Saint Andrew's in NJ. Just like Dorothy said... "There's no place like home" I guess.
