Title: The Discipline of Celebration
Author: Jeff Ecklund
Text: Psalm 100:1-5, Exodus 33:14-16

4Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
5For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
First of all this always reminds me, cautions me to consider what kind of noise I'm m ...
