I closed my eyes and let the music wash over me. I needed this. I needed to worship God today. It had been a rough week and I craved participation in the fellowship of believers as we all raised our voices in praise to God. I wanted to squeeze every ounce of inspiration out of the worship service, so I did something I hadn't been able to do in years.... I closed my eyes, shut out the distractions, and sang loudly and enthusiastically.
