This morning I finished a book
called 'Artful Flying'
It is a book about taking the
complex (like flying), 
the mundane (like every day seeming to be the same), 
and the stuff 
of the everyday
and being present to 
the intricacies of
That Moment.
Choosing to be
Intentional
Choosing to live
fully
by being 
disciplined...
Discipline.....
The word used in scripture is
not 'punishment'
but
'instructing the mind'
Creating memory 'muscle' 
around things that I value...
This morning I read Ps 139
and then again...
David's cry to ask God to;
- Search him
- Try him
- Lead him
somehow was lost
as I juggled
the rest of my day...
Bla bla bla....
read it again...
and
again..
Slow down.
Read it
one more time...
This God
who created me
who has planned
each of my days
from before
eternity
I need to..
I want to...
Take time
to listen
and
wonder....
Lord,
I try to spend regular time
with You...
and the distractions come
and my mind is full of other things
and Yet
I want more of You....
Help me to see the
fruit
of disciplining
my mind
of spending time
in Your word
with You
Listening
to Your Spirit....
Thank You
I know You will.
Yeah... 
Thank You.
