ON BRINGING GOD FREE LAUGHS

I belong to a fellowship, spiritual in nature, that has a membership consisting entirely of self-willed, self-driven, self-absorbed people seeking to be less self-focused. (Which, of course, keeps us focused on self.)

According to me, we tend to put the horse before the cart every chance we get. An example: We pray the Lord's Prayer at the end of our meetings. Some time ago, after the "Amen," we added. "Keep coming back!"

That was all well and good until, after awhile, someone further added, "It works!"

Which was all well and good until someone further added, "If you work it!"

Which, etc., until we further added, "If you don't, it don't!"

Then, possibly because all those added bumper stickers were taking too much time, someone decided we should stop praying the Lord's Prayer. That is now under discussion in many rooms. 

Don't tell me God doesn't hold a special place in his heart for us...we're his love-and-laugh track.

Thank you.
