All that to say before you order from the dessert menu, you need to first order a healthy entrée. This is where the real nourishment is found.

Can't disagree - all these things you mention are just practices in and of themselves, and can certainly be distractions.
The (definite article as in "Will He find The faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8 ) Faith (i.e., trust, belief)
in Christ is the one thing needed. And it's even His faith that's been given to us!
So Jo, lets get to the nitty-gritty practicality side of this. I am curious - can you tell us what your pursuit of Christ and turning to Him looks like on a daily/weekly basis? (even though, assuredly agreed that He does already live in you)
