 One of the first things I noticed about Colorado is that they are serious about church. There are places where you can find them on practically every corner or lined up three in a row. One estimate puts the city of Colorado Springs as having 400 Protestant and more than 20 Roman Catholic churches alone. They are all over the radio dial, ranging from old (Sunday) school to modern Christian rock. There are a bunch of church grade schools, high schools and colleges to pick from. And it is the home of several international outreach programs.
Since I grew up in the church, I like seeing all those options for people. Plus, as I often joke, at this point in life I find myself cramming a little harder for the Final exam. :-) But as for why Colorado is such an epicenter for those seeking a spiritual connection, I'm not quite sure. Maybe it is because there is majestic beauty everywhere you look. Perhaps the presence of our earthly guardian angels, our military, that reminds us of our celestial ones. Or maybe it is simply because when you live this close to heaven, it makes you want to get to know your neighbors. :-) Cover Contents Books Home Hire Stories Comments are closed.
