Devotion  

Posted by BT

I've been wondering...What is our (the traditional Church's) fascination with "devotions?" It seems like that makes our "time with God" too cut and dried, implying that our whole day isn't "time with God." It is semantics? If I call it the "Daily Office," is it any different? I've just been struggling with that for some time now. Any thoughts?

On a separate note, Labor Day weekend was fun and included a trip to Cincinnati for a softball tournament, where I was able to see two of my closest friends in the world, Dave and Dave (both their blogs are linked to the right). It was great to see them and I only wish I had had more time to visit with them.

If you click here, you'll go to a site where you can download Derek Webb's CD, "Mockingbird," for free. That's right folks, free! Make sure you click on the link that says "Why is Derek Doing This?" to find out...well...why Derek's doing this. Pretty admirable.

Looks like Isringhausen might be out with a hip injury. The question on sportscenter tonight is, "What will this do to the Cards in the post-season?" According to the baseball prophet (that's still you even though you jinxed the Reds right out of the playoffs) the Cards might now win the World Series.

That's the kind of question (devotions)that makes me look into the gospels and reflect on what personal spiritual formation looked like in the life of Jesus, the apostles & beleivers in Acts, etc. Are we helping anyone out by encouraging them to have this brief little compartmentalized segment of the day with God and then closing the Bible or saying Amen until this time tomorrow? Good thoughts.

Don't be so sure, J.
