    I had the SAME reaction when I attended my first-ever Divine Liturgy. Within minutes – very few minutes – I KNEW. This is HOME. It took a long road to get me there (thanks to my own stupid wanderings) but thank God He had mercy on me and I’m right back where i belong. From the first time I ever heard the beginning of hte Divine Liturgy…every other church service was just “ruined” for me and I knew there was no going back (though i tried real hard). Truth is truth, and that’s just that. Thanks be to God
