It has been one year since I sat in the hard wooden pews of the church sanctuary. One year since I was able to say 'peace by with you' to the widows on either side of me. A year since I was able to sit on the multicolored carpet with the children of the church and see their smiling faces! It has been a year since I sat in a classroom with friends as we finish our graduate degree. It has been a year since I was able to eat in a restaurant without fear.
As I sit here in my apartment with the dog cuddled up to my legs, I am watching the home churches worship in SC. If you told me this was what I was going to be doing a year from now, I would have denied it fully heartedly. It is crazy that it has been a year, but I am hopeful that with the vaccines and other measures that we will be able to open up a little bit at a time.
