A Playful day

Today Emily and I went to Kids Cove at TRBC. I had heard about this enormous indoor play area from many if my friends. I have often been invited, but today decided to brave it alone, just me and Em. I am unsure if this is open to the public or reserved to to thousands of TRBC members. Entering into the building was somewhat overwhelming in itself. I wasn't sure if I was going into a church or a shopping mall. Then it kinda looked like a hotel lobby. Then I saw the colors of my bathroom poured over the massive building. If it is stylish enough to be at TRBC, I think I may question my whole design scheme. Oh, that sounded wrong. No offense to any TRBC members.

So, after walking down the what looked like marble lined floor we finally reached the Kids Cove. I was tryng to be all incognito so no one would no I was an outsider, The group of ladies and their kids looked at us as we walked in. They knew, they had to. It was like they could smell it on us as we walked in. I saw a girl that had a girl Em's age. She looked at me in a yeah, I don't go to church here either, I'm just sneaking in and using their facility way. We became quick friends and our girls played together, My spidy sense was right, she was one of us.

We had a wonderful time. The place was amazing and I am sure provides hours of entertainment for lots of kids. But.........

Do we need all that stuff to worship GOD. Do plush couches and marble and coffee bars and statues bring us closer to GOD? Just my thoughts. Again sorry to offend. I have a way of doing that.

The answer is NO- we DON"T need that stuff to worship God- if it were really a place of God would you feel like you didn't belong in the 1st place. God sets a place for all of us at the table- not just those who can afford to get in.
