The Presence

So, for some reason I don't quite understand a lot of the things that have been going on lately with church and home etc...or maybe I don't agree with, rather.
The presence of God has been very strong lately...or at least that's what everyone says. I'm going to be very honest here for a minute--I don't think the Holy Spirit is the strongest when you are in the four walls of a church. I think it is at it's peak when you are at school, work, home, wherever, and you call on the name of the Lord. The spirit in you is strongest when you are supposed to be witnessing everyday to those who watch you live your life and being a light to those around you, or in the middle of the night when you have no one else to call on. I think that's when the Holy Spirit has the most impact on you and those around you. When you are alone, and your true colors show. Not saying it isn't when you are at church. That's a totally different experience...worshiping with your brothers and sisters in Christ and the Holy Spirit is present...but, not everyone is genuine in that setting.
Well, actually, I think the Holy Spirit is always present. The moment you get saved He enters into your heart, and doesn't leave.
And another thing, I don't believe that you always have to have something to say. That's something I have been told my whole life. Lauren, just learn when to be quiet, and I have...for the most part. That's something that everyone should learn. Some people i feel like say things sometimes just to let the people around them thin that they are some great scholar or something. I mean, even Jesus didn't do that, even though he was all knowing. "It's better to have people think you are a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that we should always be careful what we say because we will be held accountable for everything we let fly out of our mouths.
