Perfunctory

Definitions from internet:  performed merely as a routine duty; hasty and superficial: perfunctory courtesy, lacking interest, care, or enthusiasm; indifferent or apathetic:
mechanical, checking off the boxes

Read a quote somewhere…something like…
Don’t let your life be characterized by:
·         perfunctory prayers
·         distracted Bible reading
·         autopilot worship
·         halfhearted obedience
·         going-through-the-motions Christianity

This is sooooooooo easy to do.  I find myself often caught doing this.  Maybe I need: energy bar, v8, clunk in the head, kick in the pants, to be renewed…
Start something new or maybe just start fresh/start over
Rekindle something/someone
Take time to evaluate, remember, appreciate, value
There is so much more to this life (another cool old school song “more to this life” Steven Curtis Chapman)
There is purpose, meaning and hope
