I’m glad you have been granted the stuff to carry out a solo faith walk. There is always a part of one’s walk that is so deep that nobody else can really see it, though we try in vain to describe it. However when being away from an earnest worship congregation is not forced on you (like it was for John on Patmos) it is unwise to forsake that, or putting it positively, wise to avail yourself of it. The others become as mirrors unto you, flawed though they be, and you likewise. There is a power in communal praise that surpasses that of solo praise.

That is a really good description!
For myself, I feel the closest to the Lord when I'm by myself, talking to him and praying to him.
Probably the purist focus and concentration I ever attain.

I was a Catholic that had problems with the church and basically turned agnostic as a young *know it all*.
I was young and very stupid to say the least, problems with the church should not have equated to problems with the Lord.
The Lord brought me back to him, nobody else but the Lord.

Have never forgotten that fact and it kind of set my course.
