70th Birthday Party
Yesterday was my dad's 70th birthday party. Attendees: Shane, I & our kids, my sister Sara & her family, my mom & dad (obviously), and my mom's sister & her husband (my aunt & uncle). Last night after the kids finally were in bed Shane and I talked a little about the interactions. My aunt, mother and sister are all what I would classify as evangelical Christians. EVERYTHING they talked about revolved around God, church, and prayer. This is the way I grew up. Nothing was ever separate from religion, and God was the master planner of everything that happened. The answer to every question: "Pray about it." The more experience that I have, the more I see that not all Christians center everything around religion and prayer. I would consider most of the people I meet to believe in Christianity, yet I don't hear them talking constantly about their religion like I did in my childhood or around the circles from churches that I once attended. Is it good to let religion permeate everything we say and do? Or can there be a balance?

ReplyDeleteReally, I don't think that there are answers to many of the questions I post. The posts are more to inspire thought and conversation. If you would like to contribute, you are welcome to do so. No promises that I will respond to comments.
