Rather than understanding things like worship, baptism, and prayer as things we "must do" in order to be pleasing to God, we should understand that these are God's gifts to us, and to the world. Rather than seeing these practices as mere religious ritual, we should understand these practices as the very type of good life for which we were created, and at the same time as practices that help sustain us in the good life to which we have been called.
The quote comes from Lee Camp's "Mere Discipleship." It is one of the two books that I began reading last night. The other is "Reasons to Believe: one man's journey among the evangelicals and the faith he left behind" by John Marks.
Yes...I am one of those crazy people that sometimes has 2...3...or maybe 4 books going at the same time.

However, I miss her. I miss my son. 8 more days!!!
