Gregg,
        Very interesting. I have too often been afraid that my main incentive to diligently observing, was to try and get a little advanced notice, so that I would have time to quickly repent of my unholiness, before he came for me. This is not a very healthy motive, and of course I'm completely unable to "pull a fast one" on an omniscient God.
        Reading your letter has helped to wake me up out of this delusional dream of mine.
             Thank you,
                     Gino
