Today I took a different approach.

For some reason, I have actually been skipping meditation days– which goes to show I have a LOT more discipline to work on. It’s getting worse. I slack off quite a bit more these days and it could mean I have to review and reflect on my nighttime routines.

Our spirits are old babies

Anyway, I didn’t want total silence. My Spirit called out for something more. Something familiar. Something flavorful and potent.

It wanted to Abide with its Creator. I nearly felt as if I was caring for a baby and in a sense, our Spirits are babies. Old babies. We have to care for our Spiritual selves just like we care for our physical bodies.

Last night I downloaded the Abide app. It’s a meditative app perfect for Christians. I remember downloading it before, perhaps a year ago, but when I saw that it was $39.99 per year with a free 7-day trial, I thought: “Why the heck would they charge for something like this?”

I mean, the price isn’t totally bad and I can certainly do it, but something that helps to calm people…. whyyyyy?
