visit a cemetary at night

I used to live next to a church. We even had keys to the church. Sometimes I would go into the church at night and play the organ. It was very peaceful, and nothing to be afraid of.

Yup.. Sure did it.. Oh you know how it is when your young and you think that is like the toughest thing you can do.. Prove yourself by going in at night.. I did.. what else is there to tell about that.

About 7 or 8 years ago I was going through a really tough time. I had gone on an all female weekend retreat and I just needed to get away from all of the estrogen for a while. Don’t get me wrong, I have many close female friends but I was just in a tough place and didn’t want to be part of the normal girly fluff. It was the dead of Winter and freezing out but I just didn’t want to go back to my cabin until everyone had gone back to bed. I was trying to avoid the required pre-bedtime chatter to be honest.
So I went for a walk down the country road near where we were. I saw a hill on my left and decided to go up it….there was no moon out so as I crested the top of the hill I could see the red glow from candles on the graves and I realized that the lane I was on was actually in a cemetary. At first I was a bit uneasy but I turned around to look behind me and was amazed at how peaceful it was. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and there were millions of stars visible. I had a view that was amazing and could see the lights from homes on distant hills and from the cabins down the lane. It was wonderful….and I had a great uninterrupted heart to heart talk with God that night which was just what I needed at that time in my life.

a nice time to reflect

I am such a ‘fraidy cat’ I think this would be good to help me get over my ‘Blair Witch Project’ syndrome!!!
