As part of my commitment to the Gulu Prayer Project, a worldwide effort for continuous prayer for the children of Uganda, I prayed for an hour.
Fortunately the office had a quiet afternoon, so I used the lounge room in the building as a prayer space. I simply had three bowls on the coffee table, one filled with sand, one with water and another with a candle. Tapers lay next to the lit candle and quiet music played (Deep Forest, it was the best I could find in my CD collection - I’d be quite embarrassed it if didn’t work, surprisingly).
And I simply sat at the table, focussing on the candle light, and letting colleagues who passed by know what was happening. Some joined in for a few minutes, lighting tapers and placing them in the sand. All supported what I was doing, despite the fact I clearly wasn’t working.
If you’d like to join in the prayer vigil, it’s going all month. Check it out at the above link.

I’ve been set the task of writing a theoretical or philosophical statement for my work at Mind Body Spirit. I had set myself the deadline of 31 January to complete it and post it on the net, but I decided to follow the tradition of all great writers and ignore that deadline, despite the fact I’ve had a few queries about it.
The worst part of it is that what started out to be just a set of guiding principles, based on some best-practice evidence, has turned into a pretty large work. This is mainly because there is little/no best-practice evidence that I can find for this work, so I’m having to develop my own sources. What fun!
I think I’m half-way through writing the thing. So I’ve decided to post it on this web site, and ask all you terribly busy yet smart and good-looking and wise and suave and did I say good looking? people out there to have a gander at it and let me know what you think (I’m starting my own peer review).
Now, if by chance you’ve checked out the links from the “articles” page and read that stuff you will find that I’ve plagiarised myself quite a bit (I’m thinking of suing), so please don’t be too bored or annoyed.
I want your honest feedback, but know that it aint no PhD work. Click on the links on the sidebar or the link saying “spirit” up the top. There aren’t any comments enabled on these pages so please make comments to this post or email me.
