Can't Nobody Do Me Like Jesus...

That’s the title of a real Christian praise song. Seriously. I heard it in the background of an segment this morning. Don’t believe me? Read the lyrics here.

But, that’s not why I’m here this morning (even though I do think it’s a rather odd series of words to assemble and sing to God).

Lectio DivinaNo, I’m here to tell anyone who doesn’t know (and this really has more to do with my own Christian community) that our first Lenten gathering was held this morning from 6:30-7:30a. It was a great time and more people showed up than I expected for such an early hour. Anyway, this is just one of the offerings for this season’s “Jacob’s Well Institute.” If you need more info, I suggest calling the church.

As some of you know, my history with practicing Lectio isn’t too long — I’ve taken part in it as well as facilitated for about four years now. But, each time, whether doing it every day or not, it’s very rewarding. There was a time when a small, but dedicated group of us gathered at church to practice Lectio every morning for about a year and a half. After a while, most of us got burnt out and needed a break. This time, we’re only meeting once a week for the seven weeks before Easter. After this morning, I am very excited to see what the remaining weeks will bring.

Now my questions are: – is the song still in your head (cause it is in mine) – and are you signing it that slow, boring way; or the classic foot-stompin’ hands clappin’ way that just seems to find that rhythmn in a style that a classic ch’uch does :)

Greetings, I just stumbled across your blog today. I live in Kansas City. I would be interested to know more about what Lectio is. I’ve only heard of it in my studies of church history when Oregin started the practice. How is it practiced today?

Antoine ~ The version I heard was the foot-stompin’ hands clappin’ version, but still… The words didn’t work for me. And, I’m sure it’s just a cultural thing — which, of course, I can’t completely escape.

Zack ~ Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I will email you directly.
