So, I've been reflecting on that thought since I heard it while attending a Baptism in a Catholic church last Sunday.
The Priest performing the ceremony was excitedly going on about Pope Francis, and how he say's a complacent Christian is an ugly Christian, and that you must go out and live your faith. My thoughts jumped right to my Pagan friends, and how so very often you hear them use the term's "Lazy", "bored", or "lost" when explaining their path. It sort of came to me that Pope Francis message universally works for all faiths, and paths, especially Pagans.
Being Solitary is tough, and often in modern times is most rewarding on mediums like PF, sharing experiences with friends and strangers alike, but once we log off, and we face the world alone, that excitement and that fire is gone, faith can become a chore. In my experience those who find ways to express their own faith each and every day seem to be those whose faith strong, and reliable.
This isn't just a rant, I'm trying to make this as productive as possible, I'd like to know how people motivate themselves, and how they live, celebrate, and walk their path.
I'm not going to start with my own, but I'll jump in later.
