Book of Mark
Years ago, my time of personal devotion and prayer was capped off by a spiritual discipline known as journaling. I always carried an additional notebook with my Bible and regularly chronicled what God was doing in my life. In that notebook I would always take time to write out important passages, thoughts, and even personal prayers. It was an excersise that I thoroughly enjoyed. It allowed me to progressivly follow my own spiritual formation as well as teach me to more succinctly communicate what God was doing in my life. Unfortunately, with the busyness of life, family, and ministry that wonderful practice was not only neglected it was all together abandoned. I honestly tied to not think about it that much over the last several years because it upset me. I knew what I was missing by not taking the time to personally journal what God was challenging me on. I have noticed that many pastors that I look toward for spiritual guidance have updated this spiritual discipline to blogging. Ironically, as I am typing this a friend of mine just sent me an email called, "Six Reasons Why Pastors Should Blog." This is further proof that God is speaking and he does have a sense of humor.
Throughout the last month I have been carefully reading the Book of Mark. So, many of my entries will likely be from my personal devotional time.
