Had a really great, deep and interesting spirituo-theo-logical conversation for about 20 minutes or so with a friend I bumped into on the sidewalk today. Enlightening. Thought-provoking. Those just don't happen every day.
One of the topics my friend brought up was pre-prayer. You don't just rush in and grab God by the throat (my terminology). You settle down into a relaxed quiet stillness and then begin your conversation. He brightened at the analogy I used of the anteroom or mud room in South Dakota where you divest yourself of your coat, hat, gloves, muddy or snowy boots and then go in to the inner sanctum of your warm cosy house.
