I once saw a poster of a valentine-shaped heart with a castle on top of it. There was a flag with a slogan, oversized and coming out of the top of the castle. The slogan read: "Joy is the banner flown from the heart when the King is in residence."
Well, stupid me, I didn’t

DANCING WITH GOD
One of my very favorite stories is told by Gertrud Mueller Nelson in To Dance with God: Family Ritual and Community Celebration. It’s the first thing she says at the beginning of Chapter 1:

The law indeed was given through Moses;
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ … (Verse 17)
If you compare the two, you’ll find that when the Law came down, 3,000 people died. That’s in Exodus 32:28.
