sbadger,
wow, you made a great point with the imagery of the house being knocked down and rebuilt. I have experienced that in my own journey towards spiritual fulfillment in the church. As hard as it was to have my testimony erode out from underneath me, having it rebuilt from a more spiritually mature perspective than I had before has provided me with some of the most wonderful spiritual experiences. I enjoy church again. It’s an ongoing battle to remember what I’m really there for, but I love it again, and there were many times when I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to say that. One can learn to love it again, I’m living proof of that.
