I need to pray more.

What I mean is I long to stop and just ‘be’ with God.  It was the first thought that came to mind even as I began my morning ritual of saying ‘hello’ to God and then asking Him to bless this day and make it His.  Like a dung beetle burrowing furiously into the heap of crap that’s my mind these days the thought came to me that I’m not ‘still’ enough.

I tried.  I did a few lessons in the Cornerstone Bible study but the motivation wasn’t there.  I watched a movie, rode bikes with the boys, and went into work for a meeting.  Then at mass I was a Eucharistic Minister and served the Body of Christ…half way into communion the band sang one of my favorite songs but for the life of me I can’t recall the title, nor the tune.  I do know it caused my throat to tighten and tears threatened to surface.

….*break*  God has a sense of humor…Seth just came downstairs and said ‘We need to pray!’

Yes, I suppose that is the point.

May God bless you and keep you safe.
