The morning service is uplifting. For the few times that I went, I did enjoy it very much and felt the strong presence of God. Once the service is over, the next service coming in is somewhat unpleasant because the people rush and push to get to a seat. Unfortunately, not appreciated and although I speak Spanish fluently, the culture and behavior of the 9:00 am service is so much different.

On another note, I participate in a celebration outside of the premises of the church. Everyone happy, very pleasant with their families, taking pictures, etc... We stood in line for the food serving with foam takeout plates and plastic utensils which to me was fine. It was like having a picnic. What changed for me that afternoon was the fact that on the stage, someone coaching the people how to greet their pastor Maldonado, cheering, etc... which I made no comment, but while everyone sat in picnic tables, there was a table placed in the center of all the picnic tables, with linen, covered chairs, china, silver ware, glass cups and nice ornaments on the tables. Very festive.

I asked myself why? Jesus sat with everyone on the table and they ate all equally and mind you.... he is Jesus our Lord and King.

I thought, perhaps it was the people who wanted to do this pleasant gesture, but why?

There is only One God, One King. No one other than him deserves such gestures.

This unfortunately, changed my view among other things, but we are all free to do as we wish. That he gave us. Whether I return or not is irrelevant for I will continue my relationship with the Lord. AMEN
