Friday March 26
Today we rode the train to Namur. John and Elizabeth met us and showed us around this wonderful city. Much smaller than Brussels and completely French speaking. We walked around this city, enjoying the beautiful sights, friendly smiling people and time with each other. I love this group of people and am thankful to God for bringing us together. Only our Creator would fit so perfectly such a group of people. As we enjoyed the sights of Namur we ventured into a large Catholic church. It was beautiful but cold, not just physically cold. Paintings, Statues, Ornately Decorated Confessionals. Amazing things, but no people. No real sign of the Hope and Love that only Jesus brings. I was broken by the emptiness, by the pain that must be felt by seeking forgiveness of sins by a man, not the God of the universe who took on flesh to die for our sins so that we could come to Him and Him alone. It was a moment of true calling for me. The longing for people to come to know Him, it's growing and I don't want it to stop.
