Journaling is so important to me and is a discipline that I think can really help with organization and focus. I love to write, even when it's just small snippets of information, like a To Do List or quick memory. I also love to journal in different ways. Mainly because I get bored easily. We have looked at using Doodled Boxes and a Sunburst Pattern to journal and now we are going to explore creative journaling in circles.

This challenge is to write down prayers for the women God has placed in your life inside circles. Circles are easy to draw and certainly don't have to be perfect. Of course, you can use these pages for ANYTHING, but I used mine initially to pray scripture over women.

I recently released a book on prayer, "The Circle Maker." While the prayer theology in the book is as ancient as Scripture itself, I do offer readers a new methodology. Drawing prayer circles. There is nothing magical about it. It's just a practical mechanism to help people pray with more focus, more faith. And I'll explain where the concept comes from in a moment.

In "The Circle Maker" I share a true legend about a Jewish hero who was famous for praying for rain. During a first century B.C. drought that threatened to destroy his generation, Honi the Circle Maker drew a circle in the sand with his staff, dropped to his knees and offered this prayer:

That 4.7-mile prayer walk took three hours, but God has been answering that prayer for 15 years. NCC is now one church with seven locations. We're influencing thousands of attendees every week. And every piece of property we own is right on that prayer circle! Coincidence? I think not. I walked by a rundown crackhouse at the corner of 2 and F Street, NE that is now Ebenezers Coffeehouse. I walked right under the marquee of The People's Church, which became our seventh location in 2011. And I walked right by an $8 million piece of property at 8 and Virginia Avenue, which we own debt-free and where we'll build a future campus.

Praying circling isn't just about physically circling pieces of properties. It's about circling the promises of God in prayer until God delivers. It's about circling our loved ones in prayer. Many years ago I turned Luke 2:52 into a prayer and I've circled my three children with this blessing thousands of times: May you grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and with man.

By circling, I simply mean that you keep asking until God answers. I'm afraid we give up too easily, too quickly. One thing that has helped me stay consistent and persistent in prayer is a prayer journal. It's the way I document my requests and His answers. It also insures that I give God the glory when He delivers.

Do you want to draw closer to God in prayer, but can't seem to find the quiet time you need? Do you have an impossibly big dream that God is calling you to pray about? Draw the Circle Prayer Cards are inspired by New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson's books The Circle Maker and Draw the Circle. Whether you're at home or on the go, this inspiring 60-card deck will help you establish stronger communication with God.

Up above the illustrated person\u2019s mind, draw a circle you call \u201CImagination.\u201D In that circle write all the beauty you see in the world, all the hope you carry, and what comes to mind when you consider your dreams.

The chapters on Augustine, however, stress the distinction between author and narrating persona almost to tautology, even if the needs of the non-specialist are kept in mind. I question whether the distinction needs to be drawn so sharply, something that McMahon alludes to in passing when he allows that author and narrator "should be distinguished, but not separated" (83). As a genre, autobiography asks that a writer see her or his past self as a character in the dramatic process of becoming the person who writes the story. Augustine--whether he is writing an autobiographical confession or just posing as doing so--seems to have been aware of the perspective that autobiography entails. In Book 10 Augustine writes, "What profit is there, I ask, when to human readers, by this book I confess to you who I now am, not what I once was" (10.3.4; trans. Chadwick). The following sections dwell on this fact, and a bit later Augustine even describes his memory as a place where he encounters his past self (10.8.14). As Brian Stock puts it, Augustine "distinguished between the simple reliving of an episode in the past and fitting such an episode into a schema, that is, a pattern of information already shaped in discursive or narrative form in the mind." [4] Again, engagement with the literature on reading, memory, and rhetoric could have bolstered this argument for how a supreme rhetorician crafted a narrative of himself. Also, more substantial engagement with other arguments for the unity and pattern of ascent in The Confessions would have been welcome. These topics are addressed, for one example, in James O'Donnell's "Introduction" and in his commentary on The Confessions, where he offers the view that the text only becomes an ascent in Book 10, and proposes, suggestively, that collapsing together of experience between narrator and reader only happens in the last three books (Vol. 3, 150-151; original emphasis). This complicates McMahon's assertion that the status of the text as a first-person prayer forces the reader to "impersonate the narrator's 'I,'" thus she or he "necessarily becomes Augustine the narrator making his Confessions" (92). I would also add that in neither of his chapters on Augustine does McMahon discuss any of the well-known scenes describing meditative ascents, either flawed (the encounter with Cicero's Hortensius in 3.4.7- 8), partially successful (the Platonic ascent of 7.10.16), or more successful (the vision at Ostia in 9.10.23-25).

The chapter on the Proslogion, while focusing on it in isolation from Anselm's other meditative works, demonstrates effectively that this text as a whole was designed both as a devotional and philosophical work. Especially welcome is Mc Mahon's attention to the pacing of and shifts in the narrator's voice; and because Anselm makes explicit the fact that he writes in the guise of a person who seeks to raise his mind to God and to understand what he believes, the argument here for distinction between author and narrator convinces. The dramatic quality of Anselm's other devotional texts are well known, and McMahon persuasively shows that a careful reading of the Proslogion also needs to take the moods and changes in perspective of the narrator into account. This chapter also makes the point, one that would have been well worth developing further and that works for this text in ways that it does not for The Confessions, that one "cannot read the Proslogion without praying his prayer. Every reader necessarily impersonates Anselm the narrator, and hence we do not merely follow his journey, as in reading a third-person narrative, but we also make it ourselves" (161). While one might have phrased this differently (is the impersonation necessary, or just potential?), the fact remains that even Anselm's contemporaries recognized how these works draw the reader in and engage the emotions--as is seen in the letter of Durandus to Anselm (Letter 70: Schmitt, vol. 3, 190-91). Again, scholarship such as Carruthers' on the rhetorical ductus and its use of colores (emotional shadings) could have added to the argument. The chapter stands, however as a useful contribution to scholarship on the rhetorical artistry of Anselm's devotional and theological/philosophical works.

In addition to determining students' time investmentportfolios, a survey was administered to provide a sense of their temporaldominance. This survey, based on the research of Cottle (1967, 1975, 1976),was adapted to include not only drawing circles to represent past, present,and future time, but an explanation in their own words of what the circlesrepresent. The circles test revealed interesting patterns fornormal-attaining and at-risk boys and girls [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 10OMITTED]. In general, larger sized future circles (optimistic future) weredrawn by both normal achieving boys and girls. The smallest sized circles(pessimistic future) were drawn by at-risk students. A large number ofequal-sized, non-aligned, randomly placed circles were also drawn by at-riskstudents. Figure 9 reports the frequency of these circles patterns. Note thatif one considers small future circles and random equal-sized circles asindicative of weak future temporal dominance, then the average ratio ofstrong to weak future dominance was over twice that for the normal (14.7)over the at-risk (6.2). ff782bc1db
