The Walk

Today I decided to take a bus to the Bay in San Francisco and then to walk to Golden Gate Bridge. Shorts and tee shirt day. Not enough of those out here. I walked and walked. I stopped for lunch and then shopped all along the Crissy Field walk. So much to explore on this beautiful day.

Then I realized I had walked somewhere between enough and too much. There were other places i wanted to see, but my body was giving out. The word "moderation" came to mind. It is a healthy idea in anything we undertake, including prayer. If I take a couple of exploratory walks each week, in time I will see all I want to see. If I pray on a regular basis, in moderation, I will develop the habit of prayer. Not every day of prayer needs to be a retreat day! Is your prayer life in shape today?
