On Interference article, Beth's metaphor of the lights to the Light/God were much appreciated.Surely great architecture reflects the image of God in us & inspiring,yet were not the faithful poor exploited for funds to build many cathedrals? A paradox.Back to the Claw,at U2 concerts I have felt LOVE moving my spirit to worship of the Holy One,grateful for the beauty of the music & the moment.Surely there needs to be discernment in the object of my (our)worship & anything we place before God can become our idol.acousticladynoreply@blogger.com
