Quote: My nascent heart sense arose in 2000 with the rote recital of the Lord's Prayer in Sunday morning church . I felt it's sing song repetition rendered it meaningless. I decided, out of pure contrariness to emphasize each part differently from the herd and yeah, I was mocking their uniformity. In the midst of all the fun I was having, I did let those words sink in real good. I didn't know it but, I was reaffirming the Covenant fervently and effectually and God honored that. This happens all the time and I have to remind myself that I don't have to know everything, I only have to know enough to act.
Genesius of Rome came to believe, so the legend goes, as he was acting in a production that openly mocked baptism. He recanted his mocking thespianism at the risk of being beheaded by Diocletian. Back then, acting was considered a low profession, so it's not as though Genesius had much at stake. I still find the story interesting.
