In a posture of prayer

So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16

Say I want to move God and Christianity (Religion) from a Sunday morning activity to something more. How can I be "religious" even when I am not in church, not reading my Bible, not praying, and not listening to worship songs?

Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men! Acts 5:29 

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. Ecclesiastes 9:10

Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it;

Unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain. 

It is vain for you to rise up early, to retire late, to eat the bread of painful labors;

for He gives to His beloved even in his sleep. Psalm 127

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 1 Corinthians 6:19

Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 

Whatever does not proceed from faith is sin. Romans 14:22

Quick answer: I follow the commandments, acting ethically, with kindness, and putting forth my best effort in everything I do, while remaining humble to God's will and listening for whatever small or large things He commands.

What do you call a cow with one leg? Stake (steak)!

A blog is kind of like a pet. I have to feed it, play with it, make sure it's not sick. When it's young, it needs extra attention. I have to housebreak it and train it if I want it to be manageable when it is older. This post is a training post, to get things rolling. It has no actual content.

In the future, I plan to center this blog on (Christian) theological and religious discussion, experience, advice, reflection, and related topics. Of course, it will also touch on whatever I find interesting, and include pictures and diagrams. I need someone to hold me accountable on my walk with God, and a larger channel where I can pour out what has been given to me. Who and what better than the internet? This is one step of many in that walk, but a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As one small step on the moon was a leap for mankind, now one small step into the cloud makes my heart leap with joy, to see that I'm actually doing now what I've had nagging in my mind for years. I can't wait to see where this takes me!

Now let's get this puppy started! (More jokes to follow.)
