I am really happy I am reading this book!  I know I have said it many times before, but wow, I just can't seem to get enough.  When I went to Mass today, I had a whole new outlook, a renewal, if you will.  I sat down and asked God, "what is the one thing you want me to learn today?"  I applied what I could remember about being "engaged" through the entire Mass.  It was easy for the most part.  I only caught myself wander a couple times.  But, the most amazing thing was applying what I read after receiving Communion.  I was to accompany the choir on the piano as I sometimes do.  However, I usually make it a point to practice so I can be performing my best, and never quite make it through the piece perfectly.  Needless to say, I didn't get the practice in as I should have.  Anyway, my "aha" moment (which was only because it was suggested in the book) was...Jesus, because you are now within my body, please play this instrument through me, and may all Glory Be Onto You.  Oh my gosh, did I play with a confidence I never had!  And it's all because of Him.  Amen!  I am so glad to have tools available to guide me in being His servant.  Thanks be to God. :)
