Yea, I intentionally didn't mention praying, because I wanted to differentiate the two... While I think the better thing is to spend quiet time in prayer, I think we should do both! I found in my own life that I would automatically "default" to praying, never just letting my mind think... Bob, I am feeling better today – thanks!!

It's never, ever fun being sick, no matter what it may lead to. I find that solitude is so important in a daily walk with God as well as helping focus myself on the tasks at hand. One can't do both at the same time and too often God gets the short end of the time, which I am working on at the moment. I treasure my alone times in the morning especially while my wife is asleep. The house is quiet and I can relax and be still and spend time with God. Believe it or not, the time I let my mind wander is during exercise. I workout at the local Y 5 days a week and I put on my headphone and even with the music going on, its time when I let my mind wander, lately, thinking of ideas for posts on my blog. It will, of course, be different for everyone but it is important to find that still, quiet time, both to spend with God and to refocus yourself. FIrst of all Bob, I hope you get to feeling better.
