Cool. I hope some day we three can tip a brew together. Maybe if CAPS is closer and work is better next year.

Thanks for the comments Tory and Steve.

Your comments on trying to find silence and quiet seem to be common among many who are attempting this kind of prayer. Perhaps I will be able to not only comment on the talk at CAPS, but delve a bit deeper into some things that help in this type of prayer.

And, yes, I did run into Fr. Gregory. It was actually your interview with him that gave me the thought of perhaps attending the conference. Fr. Gregory and I were able to have dinner one night and discuss things about the conference as well as a few other topics. I saw his first blogpost on the conference and would agree with what he has written.

I wish I could have gone. They had the conference here in Phoenix last year and Fr. Gregory Jensen stayed at our house a few miles from the convention center. Did you happen to meet him in Orlando? He’s blogging about the conference also. Looking forward to your comments.

Looking forward to hearing more about this.

One thing I have wanted to learn how to do is to just be silent and listen for God’s words. I can hardly sit still in most cases…sitting quietly for minutes or hours seems impossible.

Even if I could, how could I keep my active mind from daydreaming instead of focusing.

The closest I’ve come so far is when I’m fishing on the Clinch, in the early morning fog.
