I’ve been fighting a nasty virus this week, and for me the answer to the title question of this post is, very little. At times like this I realize that my functional theology boils down to this: I am acceptable when I produce, and not acceptable when I don’t. My prayer practice this week involved being present in the moment rather than chasing down the rabbit trails of undone lists, and focusing on God’s acceptance of me apart from anything I can do. (Grace, anyone?)
