Crossfit - Exercise of Solitude

This week's spiritual discipline is the exercise of solitude. Theologian Dietrich Bonheoffer once wrote, “We are so afraid of the silence that we chase ourselves from one event to the next in order not to have to spend a moment alone with ourselves, in order not to have to look at ourselves in the mirror.” Maybe you can relate. But did you know that silence and solitude were a regular pattern of life for Jesus? Jesus found time for silence and solitude – even in the busyness of His life.
