"a few suggestions"

Prayer Time, meditation, spiritual exercises (phrase comes from St. Ignatius of Loyola - definitely not pre-school stuff), prayer closet.

Funny how a little bit of terminology can turn us off to something we want to do and need to do. I haven't found a real good name for it either. Usually refer to it as my Bible-reading. Open to suggestions too.
