I have a secret to share.
I regularly get choked up at church. I have for years. No, I don’t break down into tears. But my voice will catch in a song or response.
Not to judge, but I have come to believe that if you are a regular churchgoer and that doesn’t happen occasionally, you’re doing it wrong.
For the past month or so (I would guess starting around Easter ’13) I can’t help but get choked up and joyously smile during the creed: “For our sake and for our salvation, He came down from heaven…”
Gets me every time. (:
