Many of us, when we approach what we consider our "dotage" or our "later" years, begin to think more seriously about our souls. Yet we do not always feel that we are capable of jumping directly into deep spiritual meditation. We can ease into a greater spiritual life, though, in two ways: by reading and by writing. This book, Mini Pleas, Prayers, Pondeeriings, and Praises: A Journal of Devotionals, offers 365 short readings. Each begins with a journal entry, often followed by either a Biblical reference, a remembrance, or a reference to a book, a song, or a prayer, and then ends with a short prayer. Every day offers a moment to speak to God.
