Comparing the congregation to Russian judges at the Olympics -- this made me smile but also wince. I've observed this tendency -- and tend to run from those judges. I should instead suggest I'm there -- we are all really there -- to give, regardless of what we receive.
Well spoken - I have held this view for decades - nice to see it articulated so well!
Thank you Mike
