This is pretty much how I feel about it, as well. I have a very active spiritual life, getting involved with activities within my church as well as a ministry to all "young adults" in my area that our youth pastor has the vision to begin and is very involved with....we have weekly "bible studies" where we'll focus on a verse or two of Scripture, and then apply it to our own lives (his favorite question to ask us is if Jesus (or another person of the Bible we're looking at) was present here in the North County (of San Diego) right now, what do you think s/he would be doing? What would their ministry look like? What can we do in our own lives to follow in their footsteps? We also try to do a "fun activity" once a month to enjoy fellowship with one another without being so "Scripture-focused"...we're going to Disneyland January 3!
