You're on the Verge of a Miracle - Thanks, Rich Mullins

Melody and I have been in search of a new church. This is a topic worthy of its own blog, but for now I would like to focus on something more pressing on my mind. I have become increasingly interested in charismatic church services. A charismatic student in one of my classes made an interesting point regarding churches in his denomination. He said that in some charismatic churches there can be disappointment if something miraculous doesn't happen every Sunday. It made me think about how content I am with nothing miraculous happening at church. I get up and go to church expecting to worship God in song, expecting to pray, expecting the pastor to bring a word from the Lord, but almost never expecting a miracle. I would rather expect a miracle every Sunday and be let down once in a while, than to continue expecting nothing and have my expectations met.
