Just wanted to clarify. In the Internet world, it's easy to be misled or misleading, depending on your point of view. Me? I just want to find ways to fold the Lord into my day that's habitual and of comfort to me. I like the way Brother Lawrence (who's known for this) made the effort of practicing his faith even in washing the dishes, that his goal was that every work he participated in would become a form of worship. Word has it he struggled with this and wasn't a great fan of dish washing. Guess that's what I want to do too. There's joy in that connection with the Father, but it requires effort. So, for me, the title of this journal means more than just something I grabbed out of the air. It's something I'm working on.
