Exactly 100: 129

A quick story in just 100 words.

What the pastor said was true.

Something spiritual had led me to that church on that day.

Call it what you want, but there I was, early on a Sunday, headed towards 129th Street. Guided, you might say. Shepherded, even.

It’s sometimes hard to know why we do the things we do.

“In this church,” he continued, “we greet our neighbors and visitors. I see new faces today, and I want you to know you are welcome here.”

Parishioners came out of their pews and walked around to greet, shake hands, hug.

It was hard to hold back the tears.
