Pretty boring door, isn't it?
This is the side door into St. Austin's Catholic Church,
at 40th & Thomas in North Minneapolis.
It was a short hop off the playground of our school and I
passed through this door many times, much to my relief.
In the Catholic Church, the age of reason is age 7. I knew
at a very young age that I could not live life apart from my
very own personal relationship with God.
So, I made very many "visits." I was only and ever the only
soul in the church during the day. I can only remember the
door being locked a couple of times.
This wonderful experience, starting at age 10 or so, has prepared
me, far into my future, for a different kind of door.
