Naw, you're running right past the point again, Steve. Just be yourself. If Jesus is indeed part of who you are, He will show through without you having to work at it.

Um, it's a bit early to conclude you have a special mission here. Be one of the schmielzos, here, not someone who presumes to preach to them.

Focus on music.

And listen to BillD. He's a nice, nice man with a good head on his shoulders.
