Every time I walk into a cathedral, I'm especially aware of the vast difference between God and mankind. I'm reminded of who he is and who I am. It is an intense and humbling experience.Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-7418237366028242252015-06-13T07:19:22.783-05:002015-06-13T07:19:22.783-05:00Ha!

I find them fascinating and I enjoy tours of them, but they do not make my spirit soar as I believe they do yours. I'm more of a cathedral of the pines sort of gal. I once went to a fat class (Weight Watchers to be specific) in the bowels of a cathedral and got bored and took a wander on my own. It was very interesting and enough material for nightmares for the thirty years since. I like the flying buttresses seen here...not so intrusive and architecturally overpowering.

I always feel that the money could be better spent helping others, educating and feeding children, housing the homeless. Sometimes I wish I did not feel that way, that I could just enjoy the gorgeous architecture and craftsmanship!! I am sure it is a place you will never forget......that when you dream of this place you will remember how awe inspiring it was and how much you enjoyed the soloist!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823369215793154260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-16591531467707272652015-06-12T20:59:40.212-05:002015-06-12T20:59:40.212-05:00I hope I can remember to go to the website later.....I hope I can remember to go to the website later...that place is just simply amazing.
