Going to chapel is part of my normal schedule, so on February 8th, I got up, got my coffee and went to chapel. It is common for me to check-out during the service, and I definitely did that day. I went to my classes, but a couple of hours later we heard singing above us. Our classroom was below Hughes Auditorium where we have chapel.
After my class I went to see what was going on, and there were so many people in the chapel, hands in the air, praising God, crying. They had never left after the morning service. It was the love of God shown to me. I was standing with a friend in the doorway of the chapel, and I turned to him and said, ‘I don’t know what this is, but I want it.’
Clearly everyone there was in the present moment, and I had not been present for the last couple of months. It was the first thing that felt real to me in a while. I am a sceptic, and I have to intellectually believe, but in that moment I felt there was something to this, and I needed to pay attention.
