the notion that you don't need a church to pray is right. the notion that you can pray on a golf course is right.
as is the notion that you can - and should! - pray anywhere/anytime.
the notion that a husband doesn't need to buy his wife an anniversary gift to show his love is right. the notion that a wife can love her husband while sinking a hole-in-one is right.
as is the notion that a person can - and should! - love his partner anywhere/anytime.
(see where i'm goin' with this?)
we have to be careful, i think, that we don't get lazy. and, i think, the danger in the "what does it matter where" point of view of prayer is that, well, the "what does it matter where" point of view is lazy. and wrong.
where you pray matters as much as whether or not you're ever home to change the baby's diapers. it matters as much as whether or not you call your husband and tell him you love him but you're working late. again.
it matters as much as whether or not you show your love for your beloved only in the way you want to show it (the lazy way. admit it.) or in the way your beloved wants you to show it. your beloved generally wants flowers - not another quart of milk.
by all means........pray anywhere.
by more means.......pray someplace special.
