Usually not too long after waking up I listen to a podcast that brings up topics that I feel are relevant to me as a Christian.

During the day depending on how you look at it

- nothing much happens (I go to work, come home, do chores, try to get a little bit extra work done)

- or, this is where most of it happens: I go to work trying to be the person I'm supposed to be, taking note if I fail or if I'm uneasy to improve it.

When I put my kids to bed I pray like I was taught: the Lords prayer or a free prayer, making sure to both include their points as well as some broader points: as written I pray for the government and the ones I am supposed to respect (English is not my first language and this is a rough translation).

On Sundays I go to "church" although it isn't always a church house, the important part is meeting.

Whenever I get the chance I do work for my local church, from writing software and sysadmin work to cleaning and pure fundraising.

Edit: I find this thread extremely interesting, including comments by people from other religions as well as non-religious people. Thanks for keeping it civil!

Edit 2: when I was younger I read much in the Bible and it keeps popping up in my head as welcome advice, telling me to work hard, be respectful and good to those who need it, not become bitter etc in addition of course to the 10 commandments, but those have been second nature for half my life (and I enjoy the benefits that they give me :)
