That’s Beautiful – NOT!!

Next to the “but we like it” spirituality, we have the “That’s beautiful” accolade. You will hear it often after some emotional, but devoid of substance if not outright dissident, presentation. You may also hear it after some banal stupidity such as liturgical dancing. It’s always some woman who is on her way out of something like this who just cries out “That’s beautiful!” Nevermind that there is no substance, or worse, that it is unorthodox. It touched an emotional chord. Has anyone else ever experienced this at a cut-rate church event?
