Thursday gathering went extremely well. Pat Dewenter led us in a few songs of intimate worship before the Creator, and we spent time discussing - really discussing - dozens of aspects of worship, not to mention the role Satan and his demons - the Evil Ones - can play in trying to pull us away from worship. We discussed being consumers of worship when we are to be consumed by worship. We discussed the role of daily worship, and how worship is not just music, but also looking at the stars, at times eating in fellowship, and adorant praying.
