We henceforth concentrated on how to worship Jesus as one united empire instead of following Jesus in any practical ways (even though he never once said “worship me” but often said “follow me”). ~ Breathing Under Water: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps

Practical. A practical relationship
with a higher power. Sometimes
I could swear it’s an oxymoron.
But leave the oxy off and moron remains.
Oxy meaning sharp which, when
approached another way, means smart.
Leave off the intelligence – which seems to mean
the analysis, the rationalization, the show-off,
and that just leaves a companion.
Not an equal companion, but a follower,
disciple to use churchy words.
A member of his posey.
Someone who hangs around,
watches, learns, and becomes.
I will follow Him.
