Small Town

So much of what I read from holy people of history is how they loved going to church or other places of worship.  Yet many nowadays feel a bit guilty about not going “out” but staying in and watching services or meetings on zoom.  But remember that most of history was of small towns and no automobiles.  People walked to their local meeting or worship place.  In the Bronx, in a blizzard, I could walk to church and did.  It took all of ten minutes in the worst of weather.  Nowadays, one might have to drive many miles and pay $5.00 for a gallon of gas, to get to their destination.  And in bad weather it might be quite unsafe.  Or you don’t drive anymore anyway.  So drop the guilt and shame.  Someday, people will write about how they grew in holiness and sobriety by zoom attendance.  And maybe listening to a great talk by ME!  Or maybe not.
