RISE AND BEND

"All rise!" should not just be for local, circuit, appelate, or Supreme Court judges.

"All rise!" should be for the truly maginficient--the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

"Every knee shall bend," should not be done in the form of curtsey to awaiting beaus.

"Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord."

So we rise and we bow to show respect. Even when we sit, we drop our head in prayer.

Stationary doesn't get it. Because we're not on equal ground.

Well, there is justification. I love that word: just-as-if-I-never- sinned-cation.

So maybe we are equal. But we're separate. And that's the only way it is. So arise and bow. For He is worthy.
