There is some stuff in here that would help all those involved in the epic labor of offering Christ and His "dispensation of the fullness of times" Kingdom to others, that often in the day-to-day or week-to-week, can seem so difficult, tedious, unsuccessful, unwanted, and small.
William James and BH Roberts would have shouted AMEN! to this fine work. This is a worship-worthy God to love--yearning for peers not pets. Hugh Nibley said the problem with living everlastingly is sustaining any set of experiences forever. He thought, 'being artists' who are infinitely open to more . . . worlds without end might be a way out. Artists need frames. Veils of forgetfulness (if only temporary) provide frames for our works. In your splendid piece, the only edit I would urge--moved by a flinch in the force God revealed when he read your last phrase--is this: change 'precisely . . . is' to 'so far . . . proves.' Thanks, Randall Paul
Beautiful reminder that conversion and santification--however it applies to our particular life experiences--is in the journey, even when the journey seems stuck in place.

Beautifully expressed! “to him who can see, nothing is profane.” - Teilhard de Chardin
Great thoughts and insight!

All experience is indeed sacred.
