Well said Carl.
I remember, as a young Christian, a divine healer, told me to read psalm 103
every day. And I did it for a long time, but, in the end, I was just doing
it because he said so.
and if I did not read it or miss a day, I felt guilty.
So I agree with you. that we shooed not have to read something for so many
days, unless, we feel it is right. for us.
Malcolm.
