Burns in Me Like a Fire

Two very powerful readings today, we read Exodus Ch 20 and John Ch 2 today.  The law, Moses gave us the ten commandments.  I often think of it as broken into two halves, offenses against God, offenses against our neighbor.  And, that's exactly what our priest said in the sermon.  And, the second reading, the Gospel, was the importance of the Temple, as a sing of respect to God.  I feel the same way.  To me, the House of God is a special place, thin place.
