Mislaid

So the first week of lent is coming to an end.....
 
I’m down to one cup of tea a day, I’ve cut out the alcohol, stopped snacking on bad stuff and started snacking on fruit etc. etc. This Monday to Friday fasting lark is an absolute breeze.....the secret is to fill your day with meetings and work and before you know it - it’s four o’clock and normal eating can be resumed.....it’s not rocket science!!!
 
But I’m sure something is missing.......when I read my bible I can’t seem to retain anything. I’m sure you know the scenario where you read a paragraph of something and realise you haven’t a clue what you’ve just read. As for prayer, at the moment they’re feeling a bit hollow...and a bit empty....
 
What’s been missing is time with God.....
 
....so I’m going out for my lunch break now to see if I can find out where I’ve mis-placed him....
