"Christianity is not about religion..."

"...it's about faith, being held, being forgiven...finding joy, finding a home" -Bear Grylls


Bear Grylls participated (and is now a spokesman of sorts) in this program called "Alpha." It's a program that's supposed to, in a friendly way, introduce people and help them deal with the tough questions in life like "Is there a God? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going?". So on and so forth. But that's not what this blog is about. That was just a sidenote. haha. 


In one of his interviews, Bear comments (to the affect of...) God being his backbone. Like a backbone, God runs straight through him and is his main support.That just really struck me. Without our spine, we'd be a pile of mush. Even with all the other bones in our body, without the spine, we would be, to put it simply, a mess.


And that just got me to thinking, without God our lives are, simply put, a mess. How aptly did Bear describe God when he said He was his backbone? Lifting and supporting him through life's trials and tribulations.
