Time to Slow!

Weekly Experiments

Pick some of the following to experiment with:
• Fast your opinions.
• Schedule a half-day retreat.
• Pick the longest line at the grocery store and spend the extra time with God.
• Spend 10 minutes in silence with God in the morning.
• Unplug from television, iPods, and the internet for a day or a week.

Worship Experiments for the Week

Happy Tuesday, everyone! It was great getting together last night - I always enjoy our times of discussion, laughter and prayer. I praise the Lord for this group and for each of you!

I wanted to post our weekly experiments in worship for this week. Please feel free to use the comment thread to let us know how they are going!

• Experiment with incorporating a new form of worship into your life.
• Worship at home—use worship CDs, read from the Psalms, etc.

Can't wait to catch up next Monday to hear how things went and to talk about solitude/slowing/retreating/silence!

How has the Fast been going?

One of the things I was fasting for - has just answered. The GAO ruled in my favor.

How has everyone's fasts been going?

Experiments for Fasting

Pick a type of fast and do it. Follow the fasting guidelines, and make sure you have a partner who will fast with you or check in with you.

Types of Fasts:
* Normal Fast (abstaining from food or something else for a specified amount of time)
* Partial Fast (limitation of diet, but not complete abstention.)
* "Jewish Fast" (a complete fasting until sundown)
