Seeking God at Premier Gym Michael F Conrad

Lay Cistercian reflects on seeking God at Premier Gym in Tallahassee, FloridaI know it sounds ridiculous, but I found myself, very early one morning, at Premier Gym, Tallahassee, Florida, seeking God. I didn't plan it that way. It all just fell into place. I was thinking of how I would be reciting the Liturgy of the Hours later on that morning and doing my Lectio Divina. I thought to myself, why can't I do Lectio Divina right now? So I did it. This book is a direct result of my reflections. The stereotype is, to seek God you must be alone and all distractions eliminated, then you can listen to what God says. There is no perfect setting to seek God. God is. Seeking Him is the awareness that nature, events, people all provide the occasion to see God. This book is about my looking around Premier Gym in Tallahassee, Florida, early one morning and, describing what I saw and how I applied these observations to my spiritual life as a Lay Cistercian. It contains: -Seeking God at Premier Gym-Charisms to help physical and spiritual wellbeing-Building Capacity for God through strength training-Five barriers that keep us from reaching our purposehttps: //thecenterforcontemplativepractice.org
