Thank you for alerting me to this series; I have read the first six and will ponder them, then continue on. The part that discusses Courtesy is the most striking of all; often we do see people (and unfortunately hear them) waving, blabbering, socializing and carrying on in the sanctuary not only in blithe disregard of other worshippers but in disregard of the Lord God Himself. Would that more priests emphasized the necessity to "be still and know that I am God"! I wonder if we are so afraid of what we might find in silence that we are compelled by our guilt to fill every moment with blabbering nonsense? It's certainly worth considering ... how hard it is to be still and focus only on the Lord who stands before us in the sanctuary.
