That was so funny! At the same time, it was quite true. I have caught myself singing in church and thinking about myself and how I am perceived instead of thinking about God - the true subject of our praises. Great reminder to keep focused on God during worship. Thanks Mark!
My other favorite was once in Mennville when, I think it was Lois and myself, joked that we should change the word 'dance' to stand in all our songs. "...oh I feel like standing, it's foolishness I know, but when the world has seen the light, they will stand with joy like we're standing now..."
I liked it alot. I like the "subtle" jab about how worship isn't supposed to be about us. On the other hand, I feel uncomfortable when I hear sermons about how worship is all supposed to be about God. I think that worship is about both God and us; our response to his amazingness. Sometimes I wonder why we can't balance this . . . -Mark
