Don't be deceived by your English translations. Ephesians 1:3-23 is only two sentences in the original Greek (vv. 3-14 and 15-23 being one sentence each) with subordinate clause upon subordinate clause. Vv. 3-14 has 317 words in Greek. Vv. 15-23 is only 267 words. Didn't Paul tell us to be imitators of him in 1 Cor. 4.16? ;-) I think all prayer needs to take the form of run on sentences of whom the Apostle Paul seems to be the fountain head of inspiration.

I like it. One question, though: Is there a reason that had to all fit into one sentence? I had to read it a few times because I would start to get lost in the unending flow of sentence-ness. (Pauses do the brain good... they give us time to take things in... a moment for processing before heaping on additional words.) 134 words... that may be the longest sentence that I've seen you write. (And we've already talked about a few exceedinlyg lengthy sentences. So that's really saying something.) In any case... your long sentence is full of a lot of really good stuff. Wow. I like it.
