I have to admit that many of my attempts to honor the Lord fall flat and some are perhaps even grossly misguided. I take comfort in the fact that the Lord has a regard for the intention, if not for the true merit of the deed.

I'm sure that much love and joy went into the creation of this tribute to our Lord.
