Enjoy w/o being Entangled (Obsessed; Addicted!)

Convey; not Impress (Communicate Clearly; Not Polish!)

That previous paragraph, when the three of us sang at our Dad's banquet in Okinawa, was prayed: "Lord, do let us sing Thy music without human flaw that would detract from the message praising joy in Thee, but oh do let us ring true Thy praise--and if flawless singing would detract from THAT truth, oh let us "FLAW for Thee!"


That was on Daddy's birthday, so it would've been July 20, 2001.
