Well, I experienced a little mini Hajj today on the way to work.
I work in downtown St. Paul MN. I park my car in a lot and walk a few blocks to the office. During my walk I go through the Excel Energy Center, which is like a conference center and sports complex. The Minnesota Wild Hockey team also plays there.
Anyway, the elevator was unusually packed this morning and the people all appear to be people of African and Middle Eastern descent. I know I am way too politically incorrect that I noticed. Many of the people were carrying their prayer carpets and other accessories for their morning of prayer. The people were just streaming in.
So, my assumption is, being they are not able to goto Mecca this year, they are having a mini Hajj right here in downtown St. Paul.
This did make me think, how willing are we Christians willing to be called to prayer?
