Disclaimer: Immediately after this draft was written, I read the first few chapters. The book is smooth reading, although it is a bit repetitive. (Hey, stop laughing! 
) Oh, it was drafted on my sister's "burpday" (from a Terrible Thunderlizards episode).
I attend a small group that is going through The PAPA Prayer by Larry Crabb. While I have yet to read it myself, the teacher has presented it in an irresistible way. The book has helped me, and i have yet to open it. (Correction: I just opened it.)
The author, a very wise theologian, presents the idea: Be real be for requesting.
I will see this better, of course, once i read it. But the handouts have led me to a enriched prayer time. Honestly, I had let personal prayer time slip, fade, grow... er... one-sided. In other words, I hardly listened for God beyond me praying, "God, show me" this or that.
Now, I can say that I have found an intentional way of going to God. I have learned where I best hear God, and I have noticed that, from this, I am more thoughtful of others in my prayers. I mean, when one gets to crying to God and hearing Him... prayer for others increases. Praise God!
Okay, so I have my reasons for not opening the book. Though, as someone blatantly stated, "If you wanted to be here, you would have found a way." The good news is,
as I was walking about, I came across the book... and now, now I have it to read.
So, with that, ... TO BE CONTINUED
