I have been re-reading God is Here by Steve Case as he goes through the writtings of the 17th century monk Brother Lawrence.
We tend to believe we must seek God on the grand scale. We have to see the hurricane. We have to be there in the Sistine Chapel. We have to stad as one of the thousands at the Christ-A-Palooza Music Festival in ourder to feel the presence of God.
Brother Lawrence said that God is in the pots and pans and things [doing the dishes]... that the time of prayer is no different than the time of action. Everyday actions are prayer.
It is possible to connect with God - soul to soul - by doing all the things you are alredy doing. Walking across campus, driving through rush hour, waiting line at McDonald's.
Thats waht the practice of the presence is. Connecting. Staying connected.
Are you connecting with God in your everday life or are you waiting for that "special" moment.
Why wait?
Do it now.
