It feels a little like cheating...

This Easter season I've been using the internet to work on my spiritual condition. There are quite a few resources available, and many of them are incredibly well done.

I ran across most of them while reading the Emerging Church Blogs site. From the creator of Sacred Space (an interactive, reflective prayer site run by Jesuits)comes the Pray-As-You-Go podcast that I've been listening to (though not daily). It's a daily helping of music, scripture, guided prayer, and one or two questions aimed at connecting the listener with the Eternal God.

Another site that I've found inspirational (no, not the same word as associated with greeting cards and holiday movies on tv) is from the good people over at rejesus. There's a good bit of Easter material there, and much more.

Is it just me, or is there something about a British accent that makes spiritual stuff sound more spiritually? Have you visited the Online Labyrinth? My case in point...

All that being said, it feels a little weird to be looking at my computer screen and trying to pray, think, meditate, etc. on the spiritual. It feels like I'm cheating somehow, to not have a book in front of me, to be reading scriptures from a website or a computer program. It feels goofy to bounce from deep spiritual encounter to "I wonder how my bid on that coon hunting headlamp on eBay is doing..." (I think I got hosed on that one, but that's another story.

I'm more of a tangible book guy. I like my journal and fountain pen (thank you, Paw Paw). I don't know if I'll stick with it after Easter, but I think I'll give it a shot...
