8) love the lord guys.
he actually gave you power while you were mz"l to do it, even though it's against his will and it's merachek the geula vechulu vechulu.
and then a minute later he asks you, "mein tiere kind", please do me a favor and put on tefillin  :'( - how can we not dance for joy that we have such a good loving father asher bachar banu mikol haamim viratzah lezakois es yisrael vihirbah lanu torah umitzvois. 
the holy holy aruch hashulchan writes that it's lechoira shver why we make two brachos on tefillin, since when do we make two brachos on one mitzva??? and whats the inyan of baruch sheim afterwards?????
he answers.... WE'RE SO OVERJOYED THAT HASHEM GAVE US THE GEVALDIGE GEVALDIGE MITZVA OF TEFILLIN that we first make a regular birchas hamitzva- asher kidishanu
and then.... and then we yell [in silence] THANK YOU HASHEM AL MITZVAS TEFILLIN. and we don't stop there, we say BARUCH SHEIM KEVOD MALCHUSO LEOLAM VA'ED

imagine getting up in the morning showernig, getting dressed, brushing your teeth, downing a cup of woodford.
going downstairs and...
getting into your truck for a long haul

no davening no shul, not even a coupla minutes of murmuring absentmindedly under a tallis

how would you feel?  :o

your whole day you'd be beset by guilt wouldn't you?

let me ask you something my dear friend, you did daven today you did don your phylacteries
