Hello!! :o) I hope you're OK. The word 'praise' is a verb. It's an action word like 'jump' or 'walk' or 'talk'. To 'praise' is to DO something. I'm often amused by some 'religious Christians' who will end their TV or radio show by repeating 'Praise the Lord' up to ten times. And I often think to myself, "Well... get on with it then!!" If you were to praise your kid - let's say - would you say, "I praise you Johnny!!" OR would you say something like, "You did that really well, Johnny!!" OR "You're a good boy, Johnny!!" See what I'm getting at?! To actually 'Praise the Lord' - you would have to SAY something like, "God - you are wonderful!!" OR "God you are GREAT!!" [And so on] If you agree - that's nice!! IF you don't - please let me know why you don't. Have a great day!! Craig!! :o)
