Prayer for Pilgrims, Sheila Cassidy

accept that you will be tempted and misdirected
practice a wide range of spiritual disciplines. they are self-correcting.
stay with it

include children in your journey, esp. the children in your life
experience the joy of being hungry, of embedding in your mind substantial portions of Scripture
children as spiritual directors
for starters, they tell the truth

the Gospel and NT docs are not about being right, but good
Evangelicals are obsessed with getting it right and being right
but you can be passionate about being right w/o being good
‘rightness’ is not a gift of the Spirit. goodness is
obsession with being right is Evangelical disease. sometimes excludes goodness.
eat meals together
being right is a terrible burden. very few people can stand up under it.
