Practice

A good book that all of you should read at some point is one written by a 17th century French monk known as Brother Lawrence.  This Discalced Carmelite (no shoes for them) probably spent most of his time peeling potatoes and sweeping floors. The book is called "Practicing the Presence of God" and it's quite famous.  It is really a short, sweet book -  and a beautiful and powerful one.  The book re-states what scripture tells us today:
"...for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." (Joshua 1:9)
 What a remarkable idea - simply be aware of what is true!
