Hi Karen,

I go to a non-denominational Church, and, believe me, I keep it noisy 
as well. We have the freedon to shout out Amens, whenever, and 
wherever we happen to be in the service. We have a spectacular 
Worship team that plays good CCM, and we all sing and praise. I've 
even found myself with a burning desire to prostrate myself before 
THE LORD, so, down I go, murmurring in tongues as I do so. Sometimes, 
I have no idea who I'm praying for, and then, sometimes yes. At other 
times, it is just pure deep Worship of OUR AWESOME LORD! I absolutely 
love my church, and, most important of all, the teaching comes 
straight out of the Holy Scriptures!!


IN HIS MATCHLESS NAME,

purple Mari
