Teachings of the Ambiguously Obvious

Every once in a while I stumble upon an interesting piece of literature, something that just screams "Read me"! Oddly enough, this seems to have happened again and with a book from one of my classes. Celebration of Discipline is the book I've been reading for Religion 152 and I have to say, Foster had some help writing this thing. God's love and guidance is that apparent.

One of the major reasons I like this book is because Foster actually explains how to do things I've been told to do my entire life, yet have never had explained. This has always bugged me, I hate being told to do something and not being to how to do it.

As of right now I'm through chapter two, meditation. Very interesting as this is one of the most annoying subjects to discuss. In the past, I meditated quite a lot. As a martial artist, having a clear mind was very important. However it seems that christian meditation is different. While secular as well as eastern meditation focus on clearing the mind, christian meditation focuses on filling it. All meditation really is is constant conversation with God. Always in his presence, always listening. I love it.
