on radiant and being

My beautiful friend, Francine, just sent me a link to an article on Radiant Magazine’s website. The article was entitled “Stop Acting Like a Christian.” It was a great article. I was hungry for more, so I continued browsing on the site. What I found was an article called “Making Room for Solitude.”

This hit me hard. I realized that I have been meaning to do this for weeks now. As I told Francine, I have put it off because of a) my busyness or b) my lazyness. Neither one is a good excuse. I really need to take time for me and God. Why is that such a hard thing for me to do? I need to go somewhere where I don’t have a computer, a cell phone, an iPod, a television, or [insert any other distraction here]. I need to be instead of do.
