"Quiet Time"

Thought I'd throw a little Christianeese out there this morning -- "quiet time." Around here, quiet time refers more to the children's rest time each afternoon. But I suppose my morning prayer, Bible reading, and reflective time also counts as a quiet time. I need those minutes in the morning (after my workout, so I'm awake!--but before the children are) to center my day. This year I am reading through Paul David Tripp's New Morning Mercies devotional, and reading through the New Testament with a focus on prayer. I want to know more about what Jesus and the apostles taught about prayer, and about the prayers they prayed themselves. More on what I'm learning to come!
