EXAMEN.me

I found a pretty cool online resource this weekend. If you are looking for an opportunity to engage in a biblical, spiritual experience, then you might want to check out EXAMEN.ME. I have looked around and am processing through a couple of the opportunities on the site.

My initial hesitancy is the lack of privacy on the internet - especially sites that say they protect your privacy. I know that whatever I type on this keyboard can and might be read by someone else. If you've followed my blog, you might be thinking that I really don't care about that, but I do. EXAMEN.ME offers three different experiences through their website - Scripture examens, prayer examens and a journal. Here are the distinctions of each from the site.

The goal of the Scripture Examen is to meditate on the Word of God with the goal of life-obedience. Use this ancient devotional practice to read, meditate, pray-through, and align your life to a particular passage.

The Prayer of Examen allows you to reflect and recall your day while examining how you live life in the presence of the Lord. By slowing down and examining your day, the Lord has the opportunity to reveal to you specific areas where you are and are not living in His presence.

The Journal Examen is an unguided Examen that gives you the freedom to choose how you interact with God. Besides being a blank journal, you also have the option to look up any scripture passage you desire.

If you are interested in reading your bible for more than just head knowledge, then I think you'd like this site. If you want to experience prayers as communication with Father, rather than recitations, give this a shot. If you are a free-spirit and don't like boundaries, you might just want to freestyle the journal.

Anyway, I just wanted to pass a long a little resource to you.
