But I should be more attentive to things of the spirit than I currently am. I tried to do a simple mediation with St. Ignatius and I just couldn't figure out what he was talking about!!! He seems so stern to me and abstract. The book I was using was one of the Take Five series that Mike Aquilina did. I had so enjoyed the one focused on John Henry Cardinal Newman. But I just couldn't get into the Ignatius one. Right now I am slowly reading The Imitation of Christ but I keep mislaying my book because my house has become (once again) terribly cluttered and things keep getting swallowed up in the quicksand of clutter!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169821331076296753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8836262699520893805.post-19766475803240374002013-09-20T22:44:43.835-07:002013-09-20T22:44:43.835-07:00Your way of dividing up terms seems natural, simpl...Your way of dividing up terms seems natural, simple, and flexible. I think I'll steal it. :) I also really like how you say the Test of Time is a natural filter. Writing down good ideas to save for next term (not too far away, if they are two months long) would curb my bad habit of impulsive tweaks and purchases. Good idea. I've been writing in my Commonplace Book too. I was considering moving it to digital format, but I do think there is something to slowing down the mind through the physical act of writing that would be lost if I typed it instead.<br /><br />Anyway, I always enjoy your updates!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471641245888346516noreply@blogger.com
