Right there with you, Anon.
For some of us, it's not about money, or fame, or recognition. It's about Truth. It's about service to the will of our Creator. Some of us have just known that things in this world are not as they should be. Our Father sent His Son to provide a way home. We need to believe that Jesus is God's Son and our Savior. We don't need to perform rituals or make sacrifices. We need to believe.
Anon loves the tingling joy of which you speak. We have been given a great gift and we know that there is so much more than material stuff and/or fame.
