Awesome, I thought. And we went outside. We began our worship by singing 'Come, Now is the Time to Worship.' We both know most of those words - and the words we don't know we make up. Then we had prayer in which we both spoke our prayers out loud. And lastly, we both looked into the sky, raised our hands and shouted at the top of our voices, "Praise God!"
It was liberating, refreshing, and oh so very joyful to do this. We sang again, ran around a little bit, raised our hands and called out "Praise God" several more times.
Perhaps on a fine weather day, on a Sunday morning, we can have our whole congregation worship outside and shout to our hearts content, with hands lifted up, "Praise God!"
