free throws and the daily office
Most days I take a few minutes to either go out to my driveway or into the gym at Bethel and shoot some free throws. I almost always shoot other shots, but sometimes I don't want to jump and break much of a sweat.
Yesterday I hit 51 in a row in my driveway. The day before that I made 39. It's not entirely about the free throws. It's about taking a few minutes away from whatever else seems pressing and finding a rhythm. Some people pause for a few minutes several times every day to pray or to read scripture or to center down and meditate. I guess I do that, too. But my most effective practice of the "daily office" couples with the shooting of free throws.
