“The art of spiritual direction lies in our uncovering the obvious in our lives and in realizing that everyday events are the means by which God tries to reach us.”
– Alan Jones, in the preface to the book “Holy Listening: The Art of Spiritual Direction” (Margaret Guenther)

Steven,I didn't know that you went through Dave's school. I'd love to be able to do that.I'm enjoying her book a lot; very practical guidance, and it's giving me a lot of good ideas and making me stop and think about how poorly I normally listen.
