The Practice of the Presence of God is my newest reading into the mysteries of prayer and worship. After reading a chapter in Captivating on worship to God, as given by an individual like oneself, I realise one must make time for these things. How would I ever make more time in an already full day of work and more work and writing and teaching and work like sweeping. Dinner alone takes a long time to make, even if it's easy leftovers, because one must heat them up and add special effects to them so as not to appear as Yesterday's Reheated Mush.
One morning, pen in hand, I found myself writing way in my "spiritual journal" entitled God among the gods a long list of all the things I needed to be doing than worshipping God. I had captured my own fancy into sitting down at the desk in the first place by saying "I will proclaim myself an hour of premeditated Wasted Time, so that whether I get anything out of this Worship thing or not, maybe God can do something with wasted time." Therefore I prayed.
