Hmmmm. I've been wondering about this for awhile now, does God honor our 15 second "prayer" quickies as we rush from one thing to the next. You know, the quick meeting by all the hysterical ( i mean ministerial ) staff before the service starts. I'd be feeling dis'ed if they did that to me.
What do youse guy's think?

Don,
We live in an age of a virulent type of Christian atheism. Some of us Christians can go for an entire day without even thinking about God. Crosses and bumper stickers aside, a surprisingly few number of us truly ponder God during a day. For a society such as this, a couple of genuine, heartfelt 15 second prayers throughout the day is an improvement. It is only when the words become trite and mere formalism that we have to worry.
Sir Mephistopheles, the Thinker.

So true. In a society which enables leisure time for the masses such as ours, regardless of how we fill it with "busy-ness", there is little excuse for Christians not being more contemplative than they seem to be. Self-reflection, meditation-in short rigorousness of faith-seems rare. Meph, I dare suspect you to be an exception. Glad to see you are still hanging around.
Blessings friend.
ps. I think I may finally be able to get back to you about that email you sent some weeks ago. I am just starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel as far as work goes around here.
pss. FYI: What this post and your post (to which I am responding) address is precisely what I think Kierkegaard addresses as well as anyone I have encountered. "Practice in Christianity" (formerly published as "Training in Christianity") in particular hits hard on these sorts of issues, for any who might be interested.

Modes,
I 'preciate those props, homie. Takes an exception to recognize one, right?
One love,
Meph

"The prayerless life is a life of practical atheism." I wonder how in our communities of faith we can spur or create an atmosphere for prayer?
