“The funny thing is that 3 or 4 months later I kinda had the epiphany, ‘Oh no, they got me.’ Like, up until then I didn’t realize it, and in fact I was in a worship service on a Wednesday night; we were singing, and I wanted to lift my hands, and I was like, ‘Oh no, they got me. How did they do this? Like, when did this happen? They’ve got me. I’m singing this dumb song that I thought was lame 2 years ago, and now I’m trying not to cry and I wanna raise my hands; and I’m still not going up front; I don’t care. I’m not going up front.’”
- Matt Chandler, The Path (Part 11): The Reign and Rule of God
2 months after I became a Christan this same thing happened to me. Now, I’m highly amused by that night and that realization.
Just for the record, I got over the whole not-raising-my-hands thing.
