See, the thing is, it's not the sort of thing that I have any true resistance or rebellion against in terms of not being "obedient" so I'm not sure where that really leaves me. I really, really want this, in other words. I just don't want to be faking it and calling it obedience. That I give the same mite as the widow doesn't make mine a gift.
But as to the last, AMEN! I'm at least clear that this is the threshold on my side as to whether or not participation would itself be disobedient...
