Quiet time, devotions, daily prayer, time with God.....
What do you call it? That time that you spend with God. Whether it be daily, weekly, moment by moment.... When and where do you meet with God?
I was contemplating this today because I found a new website at http://www.examen.me/ . It's a site that you can do various spiritual disciplines while at your computer. I did one this morning that took me to a passage in Ezekiel, I really liked thinking through the scripture and how God was speaking to me through it. I also did something called a "Center Out" prayer. A prayer time that started by praying for yourself, then friends and family, then our culture, and then the world. Again, I really liked the guided time of prayer.
Now, would I do this everyday for my "God Time"? No - I like to be outside and in nature way too much to connect with my creator only through my computer screen. But, when it's raining and cold.... it was a pretty neat thing. Please check it out!
But, I would love to hear from you in the comment section (please take a moment to share) of what are some creative, different or even routine ways that you connect with God. What do you do? Where do you go? Let's share some ideas - it might just spur each of us on to try something new and connect with our Lord in a way we never have before - maybe he'll teach us something when we step out of our "usual" routine!

Randy, I went to the Gospel passage of examen.me and found it helpful and good. I too am not one who would want to be on the commutor for devotions each day but for those who are and like this it would be great and help them to get into God's Word.
Randy, would you be willing to give us some dates for when you could come share with our people this fall? We will fit into what you have. Blessing, Doug
