I looked at the audience around me and saw people of every race, every color, and every nationality – all singing to God. I imagined this is what heaven will be like, only grander. It was a Saturday night I wouldn’t soon forget. My family and I would be traveling on Sunday morning for the Labor Day weekend and wouldn’t be able to attend our regular church.
