today i went to a baptist church. the outside is like a castle. i got lost on the inside. there are all these halls and stairs and an elevator. but the people were very friendly and helpful. in the sanctuary, there were big ole organ pipes on the walls. and stained glass windows with scenes of jesus all around the tops of the walls. in front there was i big icon of jesus being baptized by john. there was a lot of standing and sitting. and no clapping. it was different from what i'm used to, but it wasn't all that weird. i'll be going to a presbyterian church in two weeks. then later a catholic church, and possibly one sunday a gay church. stay tuned.
