I was just telling my coworkers about Old/New Testament classes I took in college that dug into this very same topic and it was nothing short of enlightening. I also read Mere Christianity during the same time period and LOVED it. There's a "Both Are True" thread that weaves its way through our array of spiritual practices (and believe me, I've practiced it all AND quit altogether). "Cafeteria Catholics" was a name my kind got teased with back in the day, but with such a lush history of spirituality out there, why can't we pick and choose the good bits?? Your viewpoint certainly challenges us to ask this of ourselves!

Life comes to us. Sometimes it is good for me and bad for another. Sometimes it bad for me and another is getting blessed. It’s random in many ways. I can do what is good and expect a good outcome. And sometimes the outcome isn’t good. It’s me that chooses the way I want to be in waiting. Waiting is a way to observe the time .
