Sacred Pathways: part 2

So, in case you all were curious, here are the couple that stuck out to me as the ways I seem to connect better with God:
  • Naturalist, loving God out of doors
  • Sensate, loving God with the senses
  • Traditionalist, loving God through ritual & symbol
  • Contemplative, loving God through adoration (sitting, basking in his love & presence)
  • Intellectual, loving God with the mind
I'm not sure yet which are strongest, but I think the Sensate & Contemplative may be pretty far up there.

Matt is also a contemplative (and a caregiver!), so we came up with a fun plan for fostering this together by remodeling our study into a sensate, contemplative sort of environment that just invites you in to sit, read, listen to music, pray, contemplate, enjoy God's presence, work on our mounds of homework... :)
