I think it is because once we are, we know we're going to have to change and do something about it. Your post is right on. God is more into relationships than religion. We miss it so many times. We want to make it about us and what makes us comfortable, when really it is all about Him and His purpose. We all need to get back into perspective every now and then.

That's an interesting point about how when our lives are easy, we don't "need" God as much and we end up not being good witnesses. I hadn't really thought about it that way before. And what an important reminder how God hates the religious act... we need to remember to keep our motives pure and not just follow the steps of religion. Heather, thank you for your honesty!

I agree that we're not as good a witness when our lives are going good, we tend to forget to thank God for the good stuff. I've been trying hard to remember to give Thanks everyday, even when the going is good. I feel like everytime I read here (everyday), I want to say thank you for being so honest with all of us. God is definitely working through faith Lifts and so far I have not forgotten to give thanks for that. :) ~Laura I had started to do this on my own blog and then I lost it, so I will just comment here.

I read the meme page and took it to mean that on Mondays we post something that has to do with the theme for the month. I did that instead of answering your questions. I'm sorry it I did it wrong - I put up my link so that others can see my post on purpose, but if you have to take it down, I understand. Maybe you want to add something to the meme page that says the topic will be listed on Monday? I know it sometimes takes me a day or two to craft a post, and so by posting the topic on Monday I don't know that I can respond to it on the same day. Thanks for the great post though - I love having a theme each month! I think I may have done the meme wrong.
