I find a quiet place beside a stream, in my kitchen as I watch the sunrise, at an art museum, in the sactuary of a Cathedral (and I’m not Catholic), in my husbands arms.
I guess if I wanted to pay 10% of my income and give up coffee, I could dress in funny looking clothes adorned with sashes and apron, and watch men in funny looking baker’s caps perform ritualistic ceremonies - - uh huh, that would be a quiet place to reflect.
On second thought, I’ll just keep my stream, kitchen, Cathedral sanctuary, and my husbands loving arms. My 10% (more or less as I feel moved) will go to a needy cause. I can’t see paying money to an organization who is building a shopping Mall in Salt Lake City, so I can go watch a movie in a McTemple.
That’s you right and go at it 100%! Like Brigham Young said the ultimate solution to all of mankind’s problem is that “For each man to mind his business.”
From my view, at the minimum, living healthy is Biblical, at the maximum, a health code is a sign as it says in Isaiah and D&C of “a peculiar people”. Also, God has endorsed ritual before, and in Revelation states that the temple of the Lord will be in full force before the coming of the Lord, I find much comfort in that.
Bottom line, the heart of my ritual is Jesus Christ, and the heart of my service is to love my fellow man.
