yes knarf some sarc since as a Catholic we have had the term tossed our way innumerable times.

I understand the reverence most folks show in their prayers and songs that St Augustine said “He who sings prays twice” about 1,600 years ago.

Prayer is all about the eternal, omnipotent Creator and us mere mortals and our relationship to Him.

Most Christian music in the last few hundred years is kitsch, pure and simple.

I dunno ... MY prayers are more like ..

Dad .. I did it again and I feel like such a jerk ... will you forgive me and help me to remember BEFORE I do it again next time?

And I'm really havin' a hard time understanding my wife these days ... it's like ... she wants me to be somethikng she knows I'm not, and we talk about it, but her attitude is like .. 'why aren't you .... '

And I really appreciate how you used pastor Sunday ... I needed that

It's hard for a guy to say I love you ... but I do.


If that's reverence ... I revere Him.

Mostly I'm in trouble only He can help me with ...

y'know ?
