        Towards evening, we stand before the holy icons (having lit a candle and maybe some incense), with reverence and fear of God; we gather our thoughts, make the Sign of the Cross, and say:

Thanks so much, I really like what this does to simplify the coding. But, I have several other 'special' coding 'short-cuts' and am not completely certain as to how to convert them into environments. I shall list them, and then list my attempts to convert them into environments, but when I tried to convert the \rub, I ended up with a blank doc. Thanks again.

The commands that shall format a heading can be left untouched since their arguments presumably will be quite short and without line breaks.

All other commands which might form paragraphs (though with centered lines), thus need line breaks can be redefined analog to the way I did. The final decision is up to you.

Just one more 'quick' question. How do I add a bold type formatting to the environment you provided for \crub? Thanks so much!!!

I have tried something like this, but I am honestly not sure what to do here or where else to go for help on this:

Your code looks OK. Did you test it? What do you have to loose? Your machine won't explode.
