I think I have been influenced by some ideas floating around that seem to be more and more common. Some of my friends seem to be losing “faith battles”, some returning to destructive lifestyles, some grow harder spiritual exteriors but are still really soft in the middle. I know a lot of people that get bogged down in sort of “extra curricular” spiritual activities. I feel a need for maturing. I’m glad to begin Lent. I need to get old school about now. I’m thinking about every Rocky movie when he gets down to business.
I miss apollo. He’s such a great image in the training about how the Holy Spirit can work.
I want to let some of my own “extra” stuff go. Anyone else want to get old school and spend time getting a good prayer discipline going? Eating better? Exercising? Sleeping in your own bed alone? Spending less time/money on things that don’t deserve it? Kicking habits? Telling the truth? Taking ourselves out of the center of our spirituality?
Wanna let some stuff burn tonight at the vigil?
Count me in. Less Internet, more silence.
Count me in. Actually not sure if I’ll make the vigil. But I gotta get back to basics and down to business.
Thanks.
you got me thinking. old school doesn’t sound so bad right about now.
There’s that black servitude again! Curse pop culture!
ha! if it makes you feel any better, it’s so rocky can go defeat the “real” enemy who happens to be mr. T.
the scene is so great right before it when Rock brings Pauly to Apollo’s old gym. very uncomfortable for the two friends. what are you gonna do? rock had to go to LA to learn some moves and get his mojo back.
