We'll be publishing the ideas in instalments of 10 days, so the first 10 days only are now up. Please carry on contributing ideas on this thread -- I'll be using a selection of them in the next instalment. Thanks again!

Try a different style of worship: go to a service you wouldn't normally (at your own church or elsewhere.) Churches often have special services such as Stations of the Cross.
Pray using a rosary or icon or similar as a focus, especially if it's not something you normally do.

Drive at the speed limit or less.
You would be surprised at how little difference to your time driving over the limit (even fractionally) would save. It mighht feel like you are getting there quicker, but the difference is negligable.
Also it's nice to slow the pace of life, even if you are rushed.

Or just don't drive for a day. At all.

I don't know if it's just my browser or what, but when I click on Day 1 I just get a load of gibberish. The others are ok.

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life,nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

But be careful, because you don't want to enrage the drivers behind you who are running late for an important appointment, and who will not understand why you're going so slowly. (Perhaps you should go under the speed limit ONLY on four-lane roads.)

I don't know the US highway code, but in the UK it is contrary to it either to drive too fast or too slow. I once failed a practice driving test for driving too slowly!

Take some time to think about the people who are important to you. Think about what your life would be like if you had to 'give them up'. Make them aware of at least one thing that you appreciate about them. Thank God for their presence in your life.

A little problem - being disorganised, I only decided to try these ideas today.
So I click on Day 1 and find that, actually, I shouldn't be here at all, as I should be staying off-line.
Oops.
So,as has been said elsewhere, I'll get me coat! cheerio!

So shoot my imprecision, my point really was that I am aware that over the limit driving is illegal, as is driving too slow, but rather that we should be careful of our speed fits the road and that we don't go over, regardless of how rushed we are.
It's a safety thing rather than doing 20 on a 60mph road thing.

Plant a large seed, like a bean, in clear glass.
Plant it right up against the side of the glass so you can watch it sprout and burst open and grow.
