Shallow

There is Dear Reader, funny ways that people approach a life of faith. Some unthinking few, consider the many blessings that a community of faith offers, but accept it like a box of toys, to be played with when it amuses them and discarded when it does not. If activities to their liking are happening, then they are first to arrive and last to leave. Yet these self same people would never appear when spiritual work is to be done. Yet learning and praying, in essence relating to the deity is a business best carried out by others. These people are best deemed as shallow, afraid to move into the deeper life that can be attained, once the free offer is understood and accepted. Preferring the shoreline than the deeper waters
This is Dear Reader, not the end of the story, for some unthinking few, spend so much time in the deep water, they forget life moves on the shallow. The eating and socialising, the raising of families and the celebrating of the necessity's of life. Yet this group see these activities as frivolity, labouring under the false perception, that there efforts can change the world, and their time is too precious to waste doing the mundane and shallow things of life.
Yet in this they err, for the creator himself made these activities and blessed them. He is to be found in them as much as the deeper things. He is also to be found easier in them, but it is safe to propose, if a person cannot find the Deity in the shallow, it's unlikely they have found him in the deep.
So Dear Reader, my question is two fold, first, have you ventured beyond the shallow?, and second, are you willing to regularly return?
