Religion?

Jan 2010 was by far the best month of my life! I have had many opportunities to play, sing and write with many awesome musicians around Auburn (Vince, Ashley, Meagan, Becca, Dru yall rock). I have also had one really awesome opportunity to minister to one of my closest friends in the world! God has done some super awesome things in my life and I cant wait to see what this semester will bring!

After a small group one night last semester I had a buddy come up to me and tell me that he thought what we were doing was really cool and he wanted to make some changes in his life, but he jus didnt want to be "all religous" he said it wasnt his thing... a few weeks ago I was thinking about is conversation and it hit me... religion isnt my thing either nor do I want it to be! I dont want to be "religious". It makes me sad that from the outside we all look like religious folk, sure we go to church and sure we surround ourselves with other christian people but as far as im concerned my relationship with my God is far from religious! God works in the strangest ways and if your walk with the Lord is boring or "religious" then you are doing something wrong.
Religion is a building, a relationship is a personal experience with the creator of the universe. You can chip away the electric guitars, the loud speakers, the pretty girls in the row infront of you, and the super stylish college pastor and if God is not present then you are left in an empty room all by yourself.
