It’s Sunday morning and the faithful have gathered. But instead of sitting in a pew, I’m sitting on a stool at Moxie Java. Outside the window and across the street is Payette Lake. Beyond the water are trees going up a mountain and snow can be seen on the top 15%. On a holiday weekend I expected McCall to be a frenetic party town, but instead it is feeling very peaceful. I find it restful to see people wander in and out of the coffee shop, watch some sitting leisurely with coffee and friends, and soak up the beauty of trees, water, and mountains. I could have traded this for attending an unfamiliar church, but I gave up my perfect attendance pin long ago.
