I am posting it now for public mulling, and will get back to it in a week with some real thought. We're off to lead a family camp this next week, and so theologizing is taking a back seat to packing and prepping, I confess. And buying school supplies. I'll poll the folks at camp for input too, and might just might have a post between now and then. Peace. Thank you for this new spin.

OK, I admit that I wince over that for more than one reason, but the Yahweh vs Jehovah issue isn't very weighty compared to the attitude of respecting God's name so much that we never say it over and against saying it all the time in love, defiance, superiority, ignorance, worship or whatever. Any thoughts? I tend to be pretty broadminded, but I wonder if I am reactionary on this, overthinking, or am I on to something.
