+ My friend Barrett Lee offers some wonderful wisdom about praying in "Praying Toward Yes," a new post in his great blog, The Theological Wanderings of a Street Pastor.  Excerpt: "Wow.  The prayer of Adoration.  This is where prayer begins: with the felt sense of awestruck wonder at life, the universe, and everything.  I mean, have you seen this place?  It’s amazing.  We’ve got protons, nebulae, the Big Bang, quantum mechanics, evolution, trees, mountains, sunsets, sex, Van Gogh, Shakespeare, Mother Teresa, single malt scotch, and the Beatles.  If you’re not saying 'Wow' to life at some level, then you’re not really paying attention.  All of this stuff is really here and it’s connected."
