I was talking to Mike yesterday doing this process, and he was saying how that maybe for me the theme for next year is to be living the "Zen" way and I just want to focus on a few things rather than be spread too thin. So I said, well I'm sure that we can find a christian version of that! by which I meant, that although I agreed with what he was saying, I want it to line up with my christian faith. I was thinking about what Rob Bell says, that all truth is God's truth (have you read Velvet Elvis yet? if not why not!) and so I looked up what Zen means and it basically means to medidate. I think that it means "focus" to most people. And to focus is something that we can all do.Jesus said, "What a generation! No sense of God! No focus to your lives! How many times do I have to go over these things? Luke 9:40-42
Yes, we can have zen in our lives! we can live focussed on God, who is the Source of all Truth, we can meditate on His ways and His plans for our lives. I absolutely sign up for that!
