Angel,
I think there is a time when emotions play a role in helping us worship more
deeply. HOwever, you are right that they shouldn't rule our lives or keep
us from going to church to worship.
Glad your husband is doint better and that you have found a church that does
the Latin mas. I'm sure that's no easy task.
