The Normal

Lately everything I have read--from the RUF blog to C.S. Lewis to a Christian girly-book about time management to, well, Paul Miller's A Praying Life--seems to be pointing me in the same direction...prayer is for All The Time. I need to pray, to coin a phrase (haha), "without ceasing."

I am to seek God, to talk to God, in the normal, the everyday, the ordinary activities of my life: soccer practice, football practice, allergy shots, grocery shopping, coffee with friends, carpooling, Bible study, homework, housework, meal planning...
