today I went to worship at a new catedral just an hour west of here. my first graben service.
the opening sacraments were sandy. really sandy. and rife with rat pellets. the rock was, well, wet brown sugar cube consistency. but the preacher! the preacher!
many epithets and cathartic Ave-RoCK! salutations of our savior ensued immediately upon initial ascent. rope-grooves were worn. challenges to one's personal relation with our lord and savior Loose Wingate were met.
as far as divinity, beyond the power of the Pastafari, the truth of the Totem spoke in actions.
Observable superhumanity.
Dog Bless!

Thank you fellow followers of the Mountain Gods!
All your posts are uplifting to my heart, spirit, & soul.
(However that recent Brave Cowboy post makes me want to join his desert phallus worship sect!
However!
Let's not forget those mountain churches in the Wind River Range.

"Get thee up into the high mountain."
Isaiah 40:9 CHARLES SPURGEON
Each believer should be thirsting for God, for the living God, and longing to climb the hill of the Lord, and see him face to face. We ought not to rest content in the mists of the valley when the summit of Tabor awaits us. My soul thirsteth to drink deep of the cup which is reserved for those who reach the mountain's brow, and bathe their brows in heaven. How pure are the dews of the hills, how fresh is the mountain air, how rich the fare of the dwellers aloft, whose windows look into the New Jerusalem! Many saints are content to live like men in coal mines, who see not the sun; they eat dust like the serpent when they might taste the ambrosial meat of angels; they are content to wear the miner's garb when they might put on king's robes; tears mar their faces when they might anoint them with celestial oil. Satisfied I am that many a believer pines in a dungeon when he might walk on the palace roof, and view the goodly land and Lebanon. Rouse thee, O believer, from thy low condition! Cast away thy sloth, thy lethargy, thy coldness, or whatever interferes with thy chaste and pure love to Christ, thy soul's Husband. Make him the source, the centre, and the circumference of all thy soul's range of delight. What enchants thee into such folly as to remain in a pit when thou mayst sit on a throne? Live not in the lowlands of bondage now that mountain liberty is conferred upon thee. Rest no longer satisfied with thy dwarfish attainments, but press forward to things more sublime and heavenly. Aspire to a higher, a nobler, a fuller life. Upward to heaven! Nearer to God!
"When wilt thou come unto me, Lord?
Oh come, my Lord most dear!
Come near, come nearer, nearer still,
I'm blest when thou art near."
...The mountain tops are just a shadow of the Almighty!

This church doesn't always require shirts or long pants to participate
Although you sometimes need to dress up for the occasion
