Thanks! I heard the quote at Mill City where I go to church (though I think Richard Sterns writes something similar in his book The Hole in Our Gospel.) The pastor there also happens to go to Luther - getting a PhD in CML. Glad someone else saw this site I need to work on getting it out there more (maybe something I can do while avoiding doing homework?)

YES! this just happened to me yesterday...the exact same thoughts while in worship. the creepy part was when i closed my eyes and realized what i was doing, i heard stephen with his countrified accent going on a rant about visual silence :-) haha. thanks for the thoughts chris.
