    This means that people are not motivated by the value of the ritual itself, but rather, merely upholding tradition on accounts of historicity. In the aspect of other events in society, if everyone shares the same experiences, they become accustomed to not having to think for themselves.

    People enjoy being praised for the good acts they do. Whether it's baking a casserole for the church pot luck, giving money too the poor, or taking time out of your day to help out at a soup kitchen; everyone likes a little praise or reward for their good works. However, when it comes to God those things don’t matter; people will volunteer for their whole life but will not follow the word or will of God. This is not what God wants, he wants us to obey him more than give up sacrifice. Yet that can be hard because, obeying God does not come with automatic glory or acknowledgement.

    Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.

    Living in a predominately Caucasian neighborhood that were Christians and Catholics, in Lakewood, Colorado, I was exposed to many friends that are these religions. Therefore, they would ask me to go to church with them to watch performances that their church is putting on. I would go to these church events, even though I am Buddhist because I wanted to be exposed to other religions and see how they worship their god. Although I never thought about changing my religion, I do find it interesting how differently my religion is to everyone else’s. My parents never knew I went to other church events because they are strict about me just being in temples.
