things we often forget
sanctuary: a place of safety and refuge, but also the sacred area of the church.
people always forget the latter definition of the word sanctuary. in our modernity and advancement, we often forget to appreciate the importance of some traditions, and the reasons for holding on to such traditions.
tradition (or as modern society would put it, the inability to advance / the irritating rigidity of the older generation) is something i can appreciate, something i would hold on to. it is also something i can never explain in a way that would convince my peers to view tradition the way i do. or maybe i'm just boring / fuddy duddy haha.
"what the sanctuary is just a very big hall what, who says i can't use it for my own purposes?" oh, but don't forget how the idea of the sanctuary started out - it is a very big sacred hall, don't forget.
that is all.
keep my heart upon Your altar.
Give me strength to cross this water,
keep my feet don't let me falter.
