... and worshiping...

Just a quote from Frederick Buechner today about worship. Wherever you fall on his two "ways", may you worship to the fullest today.

"To worship God means to serve him. Basically there are two ways to do it. One way is to do things for him that he needs to have done - run errands for him, carry messages for him, fight on his side, feed his lambs, and so on. The other way is do things for him that you need to do - sing songs for him, create beautiful things for him, give things up for him, tell him what's on your mind and in your heart, in general rejoice in him and make a fool of yourself for him the way lovers have always made fools of themselves for the one they love."

The second "way" would shake things up a bit on Sunday morning, don't you think? Remember david in 2 Samuel 6:22?
