Oops. What I mean is I'm mostly just thankful for everything around me and that's a big part of praying for me.<BR/>I realized that praying alone doesn't have to be the measure of my relationship with God. I'm much happier praying with my church. Sometimes I do the daily office online, other times I read the lectionary suggestions or the BCP. But I most prefer to pray with other Christians, so I mostly do that.Stasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864458542635159512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1137797964585135102006-01-20T14:59:00.000-08:002006-01-20T14:59:00.000-08:00I was never good at spontaneously talking to God, ...I was never good at spontaneously talking to God, and always felt lonely during private daily devotions. We all went to church on Sunday, but the true measure of Christian discipleship lay in the amount of time spent reading Scripture and praying alone – I had to keep trying, because I simply knew of no other way to grow as a Christian. <BR/><BR/>have you improved in your ability to pray alone? i've always found this especially difficult to do. i love you r blog by the way - just found it todayKyle Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507889218140030435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1137789168032610042006-01-20T12:32:00.000-08:002006-01-20T12:32:00.000-08:00With Iraq, homelessness, hunger and poverty and ch...With Iraq, homelessness, hunger and poverty and children going to sleep not knowing if they'll be safe through the night...it's a wonder that those who are called to spread the message of God's love to the world have time to nitpick over something like this! <BR/><BR/>Okay, this was the last straw today - it just is absolutely absurd to think this way - especially having grown up in the church and attended Christian schools and Universities and KNOW the number of young men/women who were in the closet (and many still are) struggling with homosexuality. To me, that is so the least of things that God looks at with an individual.....<BR/><BR/>Okay, before Iget on my soapbox I better scoot.M.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09926939152675022776noreply@blogger.com
