I'm not reading my Bible. I'm not "doing religion."
The truth is I'm tired and confused.
I don't want to
a. Go to church and be angry.
b. Go to church and be entertained, but keep a safe distance. Don't get close enough to see any errors.
c. Be a church slacker.
But this week I'm choosing slacking rather than being fake.
I need Christianity to be more than a list of rules, than something I do, than something that hurts my friends, than something that is hard.

God is real; He is more. Jesus said:
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you will recover your life. I will show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me-watch how I do it. Learn the unforced ryhthms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill fitting on you. Keep company with me and you will learn to live freely and lightly. Matthew 11:28-30 (Message Bible)

How do I find that?
