I love my church. The building is great. I love the windows. There is a huge sense of peace when I am there.
But sometimes, I get to appreciate other places.

| West Point Cadet Chapel 3/20/2022 |
I had the opportunity on Sunday to visit West Point Cadet Chapel for an organ recital. And while I was really, really excited about the organ (one of the largest in the world!) and the organist, I was immediately struck by the beauty of the building.
When I think of the word "chapel" I immediately think of something rather small and not overwhelming. Or a small area of a larger church building. But this chapel reminds me of a cathedral! Because of the size and the beauty of it.
The stained glass windows were amazing! I wish I was able to spend more time looking at them. But maybe next time I go I will get there even earlier so I have the time to do that. The detail was just so intricate.
Though it is not a place where I would regularly worship or even attend, I had a profound appreciation for all the work that went into that space, from the windows to the organ, to the very foundation.
I love my own church. But I truly appreciate other places of worship for what they offer as well.
