I'm feeling a little pulled in multiple directions today. I want to be able to spend time in prayer and reflection - at least for a little while. This is important to me. There are other things to do, though, which have importance of their own. I'm thinking of Eugene Peterson's writings right now - the ones about a pastor's personal spiritual rhythms, and how critical they are. He is an encouraging voice - but it's hard to employ the kind of discipline he does in the middle of all the other stuff of life. I guess he never said it was easy.
