After a few years of manufacturing closeness to God, I took the year off from anything specific. In the past I’ve made resolutions to pray daily or to read scripture daily throughout the year, and it worked out great. The problem I encountered that made me change it this year was that it started to take on a punched timecard feeling, and I didn’t like that.
But now that we’re entering the fourth quarter of 2007, I can completely feel that closeness slipping away. It’s so easy to skip something one day, and then find yourself going multiple days without it. It’s a very slippery slope, and I’m finding that I need that built in system of checks and balances.
So with that, the rest of this year will be back to the basics—daily prayer and scripture reading … and daily brushing of teeth!
