Thanks for saying so. Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated.

I try.

Sometimes, by God's Grace, it may even show.

And, seriously, the old saw

LOVE GOD AND DO WHAT YOU WANT still works.

Just that conditional first part that's hard to . . . measure up to except and until He works it into the fiber of our being.

But your emphasis on WORSHIP is a very apt one, I think.

And, my bias is, that when one's heart is genuinely leaning toward; leaning into; focused intently on God . . . God has a relatively easy time of making all the other stuff eventully line up sufficiently for this time/space dimension.

Sometimes folks say "I LOVE HAGEN DAZ" with more feeling and intensity than their expressed Love for God.

The tangible and concrete can be so seductive.

BTW . . . I intend to get back to that thread by and by.
