Then I end up feeling bad and, upon taking a visit to see my relative (as I continue with the analogy), I tell them, "I'm sorry It's been a few days (or weeks) since we've really spent quality time.

I literally started by setting a timer for 5-10 minutes and just sat in front of the Christmas tree thinking about all the things I have to be thankful for.

The disciplines are meditation, prayer, fasting, study, simplicity, solitude, submission, service, confession, worship, guidance, and celebration.

This book has pushed me to develop aspects of my spiritual discipline that are less focused on in the modern American church (fasting, simplicity, celebration).
