Faith fills the room. The faithful followers gather to worship. Rich colors combine to create an alternate world, as soft sunlight enters through the stained glass. The warm brown of the momentarily empty wooden pews reflects some of the light. A common interest, a common goal, the creation of another world. Elderly friends casually chatter as the room begins to fill. The music plays, creating an otherworldly ambiance. The building becomes a place of peace, easing any external unease. For these few hours on the day of rest, hope is renewed. Old, young, daughter, son—in this place they all act as one. Faith unites them as it has their forefathers. What is happening outside is of no concern. For now, everyone is focused on the optimism inside this building. Almost as soon as it starts, it ends. A feeling of new hope fills the crowd as they exit. This new hope is faith.
