Intro

I am a blog junkie. Not that I read many daily. Not that I keep up with mine. But that I have started several, always with some specific theme, and let them wander off into forgotten cyberspace. So I guess I am actually a blog killer. This isn't really a confession; it's just the truth.

In this blog, I am taking on Richard Foster's book Prayer. I was given it by Pastor J. and read it through cover-to-cover. The book sparked a passion in me to improve my prayer life. I believe it's not enough to simply read it, but it requires student participation.

Each chapter of the book is dedicated to a different "type" of prayer. I plan to take on a new one each week, not sticking to the order of the book, and blog through the experience. My goal is not to study prayer and gain knowledge or even eloquence, but for me to gain richer conversations with my God through and towards a renovated heart. Foster quotes Samuel Coleridge: "He prayeth well, who loveth well." Always, that my love grow deeper!

Disclaimer: It's good for me to write, so this blog exists. It is not of concern to me if it is any good to read; so this blog will probably one day be killed.
