Love the analogy of John on Patmos. Have actually visited that island and the church. You are so right. God does save the best till last.

Keep looking up!

I needed to hear this today.

I guess that insofar as it calms people down and puts them in a receptive frame of mind, God is OK with liturgy, but I can’t imagine He sees much value in reciting other people’s words rapidly if our thoughts and emotions are far away. πŸ™‚

Thanks, still mooching around it!
India is one of my great loves – see http://dcbindia.blogspot.co.uk/

I can’t see where to comment on your “Liturgy” blog – but my question would be: does God like it? As I can’t see any justification of it in the Scriptures, and Jesus says, “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as those who are of the nations: for they think they shall be heard through their much speaking” (Matthew 6: 7) I think not.

Welcome to my blog, David!

He had the experience of Jeus putting His right hand upon him.

I am in “exile” too in a way…good place in which one is forced to listen for God!

Thank you, Don. I just prayed that you will have inspiration as to what avenues to best pursue in your research, funding, staffing and career.
