Straight Up by nellycious

Straight Up

Been a while since we've been to church because of a very difficult work schedule and things to fix. We were finally able to go around doing that. The missus insisted on going to the place in the church where they light those tiny floating candles on water-filled votives.

Lucky my camera was around my neck. Was able to pray there and witness other people who light the candles and wish for their prayers to go straight up.
Oh, there is just something about candlelight...this is so very golden and lovely.
