It has been a little while since I have written a blog.  I guess it is writer's block.  No it was worse than that it was a writer's blockade.  Recently I was talking to a friend of mine (I know hard to believe, just kidding).  Were talking about church and the purposes of churches.  Again I was reminded of the importance of worship but not necessarily in a communal sense.  By the end of the discussion I was feeling pretty low about my individual worship lifestyle.
Worship is something I hold to be important.  (Not the only important thing, mind you!)  But my individual worship life has been a bit stagnant.  You know not a rushing white water rafting river but Moccasin Creek in the summer.  A place  in which the the water does move.  A breeding ground for bacteria and algae.  Disgusting!  I'm just not  taking the time I should to worship God.  Everyday I should be striving to grow closer to Him.  My focus has always been progression not perfection (I'm not gonna reach that).  So my question is how do people worship God?  

Mark 6:31:  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” 

By the way, this is a rhetorical question.  (It technically is not my bee's wax)  I just want people to think about it more.  Do turn up some music and light some candles...Romance the Lord.  Okay maybe that's not you.  Do you pray on your lunch break at work for all the people who are hurting in the world?  Do you play an instrument or paint or sculpt with a focus on knowing and understanding the creator more?  Find a quiet place and slow down your life.  

Weep, kneel, scream for the grace that has been granted to you.  And take up your faith and exercise it like only a follower of the one true God can do.  He Loves You.

Mark 6:32:  So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone.
