Hall of Fame wrestling coach calls it a career By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
After 37 years of molding boys into young men, a Hall of Fame induction, six state championship teams and more individual state placers than you can shake a trophy at, Enumclaw High wrestling coach Lee Reichert knew it was time to call it a career. “It’s been coming for awhile,” Reichert said of his retirement from the coaching ranks. He hinted
at stepping down decision and secure the past few years, in the knowledge that but the same thing the EHS program is always stood in poised to remain the way: “It was a power – not just always so much in the South Puget fun, I thought Sound League 3A, Lee Reichert I’d maybe go one but in state wresting more year.” circles as well. While he still loves com“It’s time to pass the peting, building the Hornet baton to the younger guys,” program and developing the 60-year-old Reichert lifetime relationships with said. wrestlers and their families, He leaves with a record things proved a bit different that would be envied by this year. Reichert is step- any coach, any sport, at any ping aside, at peace with his level.
After graduating from Tahoma High and wrestling four years at Central Washington University, Reichert was an assistant from 1976 to 1980 at KentMeridian High. He then spent a season at the junior high level before moving to Kentwood High School where he was co-coach from 1985 to 1995. During that time, Kentwood won three state titles, featured 18 state placers and had five individual state champions.
In 1996 he made the move to Enumclaw High, where his teams have posted some staggering numbers. Reichert leaves EHS with a dual meet record of 1177. His squads have ground out 15 league titles, 18 subregional titles, 14 regional championships and four state championships. There have been 88 state placers and 13 state champs. Reichert’s greatest success came near the end of

Dorothy Clark, 83, had gone down for a nap on Jan. 4. As was her routine, she took each of her phones off their hook; she frequently received calls from telemarketers and did not want to be disturbed. A few hours later, she woke up and turned on the shower. Then everything dropped out from under her. This had happened to Clark before, she said; these sudden fainting spells. As she described it, gravity snuck up from behind

RETIRe FROM 1 his career. This year’s squad placed fourth in the 3A state tournament but, before that, had claimed four of the past five state championships. Presently, the Hornets have won 49 consecutive league dual matches. Reichert’s peers recognized something special and, in 2010, he was elected to the Washington State Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame. “I was honored to be a part of that,” he said. “Those are very special men in the sport of wrestling.” Through his 37 years of putting kids on mats, Reichert has maintained a belief that coaching doesn’t end with the final buzzer. His wrestlers have become an extended family and he expects them to share the sentiment. “Success in coaching comes from building relationships with kids,” he said. “It’s about loving competition and sharing
CALL FROM 1 and she would fall backward. Doctors hadn’t been able to find the cause, she said. She regained consciousness on the floor next to her bathtub, unable to pick herself up. The water — long cold now — had begun flowing over the edges of the tub basin, cascading over her exposed body. Clark remembered her Lifeline, the medical alert bracelet her daughter had purchased a few years before for just such an emergency. She pressed the button. Nothing. Again. Nothing. She stayed that way for more than 10 hours, shouting at the top of her lungs for help. “I kept telling myself, ‘Dorothy, you’re a very strong person,’” Clark said. “I knew I was going to die of hypothermia if I didn’t get out of there soon.”

goals.” The connection goes so deep, Reichert is certain he knows exactly what former wrestlers are thinking when the two pass on downtown streets. And he’s sure the former Hornets know what’s going through the coach’s mind. The lifetime bond is built on a simple philosophy, “You can count on me. Can I count on you?” When he talks about his wrestlers, Reichert gets emotional. “It’s a family approach,” he said. “When you need help, they help you. You have a connection.” That’s a building block of Reichert’s success.
“Teams that don’t have that, they can’t beat you,” he said. While Reichert is associated with wrestling, he left his mark on athletes in other sports, too. He spent a dozen seasons as co-coach of the Hornet fastpitch team and, for two years, guided the EHS soccer team. With coaching in his past, there are other things that will occupy Reichert’s time. He loves to hunt birds and fish for salmon and, even more important, there are grandchildren to spend time with. High school students will remain a part of his life, as Reichert will keep his teaching job with the Muckleshoot tribal school. It’s a post he’ll keep “until I just don’t want to do it anymore.” With a legendary coaching career now in his rearview mirror, Reichert assumes the role of a dedicated fan, guaranteeing he’ll still keep tabs on the Hornet fortunes. “You can’t just walk away completely,” he said.
Finally, a neighbor heard her cries and called the fire department. Two months later, Clark is physically unscathed from her fall and is biding her time in a temporary senior living apartment while her home is repaired for water damage. But she’s piping mad at the installers of her Lifeline bracelet. It’s not that the bracelet failed. The Philips Lifeline medical alert bracelet works by transmitting its signal to a receiver connected to the owner’s landline phone. But if there’s no dial tone — as was the case after Clark took her phones off the hook — the signal won’t go through to the service’s staff. This aspect of the device, Clark said, was never properly explained to her. “If I were a salesman, I’d take the phone off the hook and say ‘If your phone’s off the hook like this, it won’t work,’” she said. “How hard
is that?” She added that she thought the explanation should have especially been given since she is sight impaired, and could not readily read the instruction manual. After the incident, Marcia Meneghini was helping out at her friend Clark’s home when she noticed the state of the phones. She replaced the receivers when the Lifeline system buzzed and a call immediately came through inquiring whether there had been a fall. Menegheni confirmed and told the representative the incident was over. What annoyed Marie Brokenicky, Clark’s daughter, was that the whole situation could have been avoided with just a little more information about phone accessories on the market, she said. “I was told after the fact — from the phone company, not the Lifeline people
— that there’s a device that connects to the phone that would allow the medical alert to work even when the phone is off the hook,” Brokenicky said, speaking during a trip to visit her mother. “It’s not expensive; only $100 or so. And we really would have appreciated knowing that was an option.” Clark does not plan to pursue litigation against Philips, she said, but she will be contacting the Better Business Bureau. “I want other people to know the situation, so what happened to me won’t happen to them,” she said. Philips Co.’s media communications department did not respond to requests for comment.

Time is right to plant cool-season vegetables Marianne Binetti will offer a seminar on “Adding Curb Appeal and Color to the Landscape” at 9 a.m. March 23 at Windmill Gardens in Sumner. To sign up call 253863-5843 or visit www.windmillgarden.com. This is the week to plant cool-season vegetables and add some instant color with early-blooming perennials. Vegetables that sprout best in cold soil include peas, carrots, lettuce, onions, beets, radish, spinach and Swiss chard. The secret to early planting depends more on how quickly your soil drains than the calendar date. If you have sticky, slow-draining clay soil you will need to wait another month to seed even the cool-season veggies listed above. Clay soil means wet feet and no vegetable likes to have wet feet on a cold night. Gardeners with raised beds, containers filled with potting soil or soil that has been improved with compost over the years have fluffy, loose soil that drains quickly. They can seed directly into the soil now and enjoy fresh
greens in six to eight weeks. If instant color is what you dream about during your spring fevers than take thee to a nursery and choose from the blooming inspiration like primroses, hellebores, pansies, violas and sprouted bulbs of daffodils, tulips and hyacinths. You can plant any of these flowers directly into the ground or into container gardens now and enjoy months of color before replacing these early bloomers with summer annuals or bedding plants. In our cool, summer climate some of the spring bloomers will continue to flower all summer long. I am confused about when to plant seeds into my vegetable garden. You say to read and follow the seed pack, but what I read is “plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring.” I have no idea what that means! Why can’t they just print a planting date on the seed pack? P., email
Q.
The Compleat Home Gardener Marianne Binetti Columnist
A.
Gardeners have been gambling on when to plant for generations and outguessing the weather is part of this daring game of chance. There is no exact planting date for seeds because gardening is more of an art than a science – and knowing your soil and predicting the weather determines when to plant. The simple answer is to grab a fist full of soil and squeeze. Now open your hand. If the soil stays formed into a ball or if water drips from between your fingers then your soil drains poorly or contains a lot of clay and it cannot be “worked” or dug up. Working wet soil destroys the structure or air spaces and this will result in seeds that are more likely to rot. Well-drained soils
that crumble and fall apart after a good squeeze allow air and water to pass through and seeds can more easily sprout and send down roots. In western Washington the planting date for cool season crops (leaf crops, peas, beets, and carrots) is anytime from mid-March until mid-May. I would like to fill my empty porch containers with flowers that will be blooming for Easter. I would like to use the potted tulips and daffodils that I see for sale at the nursery. My question is, how long will they stay in bloom? T.S., Maple Valley Hop right in and celebrate Easter early by investing in presprouted tulips, daffodils and other spring-blooming bulbs. If you choose bulbs that have tight buds and no blooms you can be assured of color for the next three to four weeks. This color flash will only last if you keep the plants cool and moist. I like to leave the bulbs in the plastic nursery pot and sink the entire pot into a larger container. Add pansies and

A.
primroses around the sides of the center pot and be sure to water both the center container and the side plantings. Then, in a few months when the spring bulbs are done you can lift the pot, spent bulbs and all, right out of the container and replace with summer bloomers. You can even reuse the spent bulbs by tapping them out of the plastic nursery pot, separating the clumps of bulbs and replanting them into welldrained soil with the fading foliage still attached. I am going to replant a sunny slope using boulders to create a rock garden. I saw a photo of a spectacular display of color and the plants listed were pink and lavender creeping phlox, basket-of-gold, deep pink aubrietia and white candytuft. Will these plants survive here, where can I buy them and how easy are they to grow? N.G., Olympia Yes, all these rock stars will thrive. You can find creeping phlox, candytuft, aubrietia and basketof-gold at local nurseries now and they are simple to grow
Q.
A.
– but only if you provide them with great drainage on a sunny or partly-shaded slope and remember that even drought-resistant rock garden plants need moisture the first summer so they can establish a root system. You can tidy up these spring bloomers by shearing them back by one half once the flowers fade – often this early summer crew cut will convince these colorful characters to give a summer-long encore performance. • • • Marianne Binetti has a degree in horticulture from Washington State University and is the author of “Easy Answers for Great Gardens” and several other books.

International recognition and inquiries are flooding Lyman’s inbox; interview requests have come in from Time, Forbes and other media outlets. He’s received congratulatory emails and product requests from countries around the world — Belgium, Spain, England and Germany, to name a few. An inventor at heart, Lyman started creating things as a young child. He currently holds eight patents and has no

thoughts of slowing down. Although he enjoys fishing and golfing, his golden years will be filled with more tinkering and inventing. In fact, a large portion of the award money has already been allocated to such pursuits. Lyman said that there is always room for improvement; a new version of the Lyman Filament Extruder, which may possibly connect directly to a 3-D printer, is already in the works.
751208
Enumclaw resident Hugh Lyman retired as a business owner in 1996. It was the end of his time in the traditional workforce but it was the beginning of something entirely different. Now, 17 years later, he is the winner of the Desktop Fabrication Competition and a game-changer in the 3-D printing industry. The purpose of a 3-D printer is to layer plastic filament into specified dimensions, which creates the real-life version of blueprints set by the user. Inventors often use them to create product prototypes but many people enjoy the benefits of 3-D printing for everyday use. Lyman, for example, enjoys making bracelets for his wife. “Everyone loves them so much that she keeps giving them away,” he said. “So I just keep making her more.” The machines are available in desktop versions for less than $500, although industrial models cost a great deal more. The real problem with 3-D printing is the high cost of filament. Similar to the inflation of ink for inkjet printers, Lyman said the maintenance cost of these machines is what labels them as irrational for most households. Three companies teamed up to search for a suitable alternative to costly filament. Inventables, Maker Education Initiative and the Kauffman Foundation sponsored the Desktop Fabrication Competition. The competition urged makers and inventors to create a more affordable way to produce the plastic filament. Lyman’s first entry was disqualified, but he wasn’t ready to throw in the towel. His second entry proved to be an acceptable and efficient way to turn reasonably priced plastic pellets into 3-D printer filament. Instead of spending $50 per filament spool, the Lyman Filament Extruder II makes it possible to create the same amount of filament for $10. “You don’t get where I’m at by giving up … I revised my entry and re-submitted it. The Lyman Filament Extruder II is what won the contest,” he said.

Best thing for kids? Get a book Would you like to know how to have a child who does well in school? According to an article in the March/ April Foreign Affairs Magazine entitled “Capitalism and Inequality” by Jerry Z. Miller, there is one key that seems to be the best determinant of educational success: “The prevalence of books in a household is a better predictor of higher test scores than family income.” Let’s examine why this is so. Money does matter of course, but one’s genetics, parenting and the cultural community matter a great deal more, according to Miller. Educated parents tend to be more involved in their children’s upbringing even when both work. They often have mastered the ability to take advantage of online technology without being sucked into wasting time watching a lot of television and playing computer games. I grew up in a house full of books. Both my parents were readers. My parents had purchased hundreds of children’s books for us to read. My mother read to me as a child and I

ended up loving school. Learning was exciting and fun for me and still is. If you follow my column you can see I still am an avid reader based on the articles and books I refer to. My father grew up as the oldest son of a poor homesteader near Ronan, Mont. His father never got more than an elementary school education. It took my dad eight years to get a degree in electrical engineering during the 1930s Depression era. In spite of their poverty, my father’s family was made up of rigorous readers. My mother’s family, also products of the Great Depression, had a more stable income. Her father was an elected judge in Glasgow, Mont.
He got his law degree by working for a senator in Washington, D.C., and reading the senator’s law books. The family was middle class, not wealthy. The whole family read and prospered. As you can see from my families’ example, positive attitudes toward reading did bear out the fact that books in the house are a good predictor of academic success. A few years ago I read a book of fiction called Dear James, by Jon Hassler. It contained a quotation about a troubled 7-year-old Irish boy named Bobby who was going to America to live with Agatha, a retired teacher. I copied a passage in my diary because I thought it applied to me. I’d like to share it with you: “And once in America, she was confident he would fall into line. For one thing, he was intelligent, and intelligent children, in her experience almost always straightened themselves out over time. For another thing…he loved books. Books

Allesio Mattioda owned this home and small farm just north of Black Diamond on the north side of KentKangley Road. The home was built in 1910 and purchased by Mattioda in June 1933. It was heated by a cook stove, but had no indoor plumbing. The property contained a number of outbuildings including a garage, two sheds (one of which was likely an outhouse) and a barn. The house was torn down in December 1969 and four new homes were built on the property in 2002-03. This 1940 image is held at the Puget Sound Regional Archives in Bellevue.

Court steamrolls public’s desire for initiatives By Reps. Christopher Hurst and Cathy Dahlquist
One of the defining characteristics of Washington’s state government is the opportunity for everyday voters to have their voices heard through the initiative process. It helps keep legislators accountable and reinforces our nation’s history of active citizen participation in all levels of government. While some legislators have pushed back on Washington’s initiative process, on Feb. 28 this process came under new fire from the Washington Supreme Court. After staying out of the political debate for almost 20 years, our Supreme Court stepped in and struck down the voterapproved requirement that tax increases receive a two-thirds vote to pass the Legislature. In deciding this requirement is unconstitutional, the justices ignored the repeated demands of Washington’s voters that the bar be set higher when it comes to taking money from our pocketbooks. More than simply deciding on the constitutionality of the issue though, the Supreme Court justices took a blatant, unwarranted
labels of sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic. I sure don’t like the sound of being phlegmatic. I don’t know what it means but still, it makes me uneasy. Plato, a B.C. contemporary of Hippocrates, bought into the same notion, as have any number of philosophers since. In the world of True Colors, those of us who are “gold” tend to favor efficiency and dependability. We get the work done, but we’re not particularly flashy. “Blue” folks tend to be great friends, always willing to go the extra mile to help someone in need; “orange” types are all about energy and activity, real seize-the-moment types; and “greens” are the most composed among us, favoring mind over emotion to solve life’s mysteries. Shedding a bit of natural cynicism, I admit there are nuggets of truth shining through the exercise. It’s easy to look within circles of family and friends and see how these personality
types come into play. For most, True Colors could be theme song in the workplace. Of course, there are myriad other ways to classify people. There are dog lovers vs. cat fanciers, urban dwellers vs. farm folk and, in the simplest division of all, males vs. females. Or, as pointed out in the classic book by John Gray, “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From A Deep, Dark Place Where No One Understands Martian.” Taking things one step closer to the world of really important things, True Colors has been massaged into an exercise to help understand man’s best friend and match potential owners with their slobbering friends. Yes, we have True Colors for Canines. The green group includes a handful of hounds; the orange group has a ton of terriers and the best dog ever, the Labrador retriever; blues include assorted small dogs; and the gold group has breeds like St. Bernards and German shepherds. In today’s dog-eat-dog world, the golds make lunch of the blues.

reaffirmed that tax increases should only pass with support of two-thirds of legislators or a public vote. We strongly support this principle. The Supreme Court Christopher Hurst has ruled – in spite of a clear directive from the people – that the two-thirds requirement for taxes is unconstitutional. But the fight is not over. We are sponsoring legislation, House Joint Resolution 4206, that would place the two-thirds requirement to raise taxes in our state constitution. This will ensure our government respects the repeated instructions of voters and finally puts the issue to rest. Passing this constitutional amendment will be a challenge. It must pass both the House and Senate before going to the ballot box where voters must also approve it. The voters have been clear on this issue before and we are sure that they will respond just as loudly and definitively if they are given the opportunity to amend the constitucurs that once ran across a quiet street, leaped into a posterior attack and bit me in a rather meaty, but still delicate, spot. A scar remains that shall only be seen by my
tion. This should not be a difficult decision. Initiative 1185 passed in every county and 44 of 49 legislative districts. Voters in the 31st Legislative District, to whom we answer, passed Initiative 1185 with 73 percent support. If every senator and representative was true to his or her district, amending the constitution to include the two-thirds requirement for tax increases would pass near-unanimously. Just as they have in the past, however, we expect a number of interest groups will fight our efforts to pass this amendment. The Washington State Supreme Court ruled against the majority of Washingtonians, but as legislators it is our responsibility to represent our voters. A constitutional amendment is now the only way forward. State Rep. Christopher Hurst, Independent Democrat, is chairman of the Government Accountability and Oversight Committee. He has served in the Legislature for 10 years. Rep. Cathy Dahlquist, R-Enumclaw, is the ranking Republican on the House Education Committee. She is serving her second term as state representative.

Each can argue that their strengths make for the best all-around individual. But we all know who tops the list…those who are, indeed, as good as gold.

and political swing at the decision made by voters to keep the scope of our government limited. The six justices in the majority opinion claim the supermajority requirement “is antithetCathy Dahlquist ical to the notion of a functioning government and should be rejected as such.” In doing so, they seem eager to disregard the notion that the functions of government are the responsibility of the Legislature, the governor and the people by means of the initiative process – not the judicial branch. Further, they argue the two-thirds rule to raise taxes constituted a “tyrannical minority” imposing their will over the majority. The language wades deep into political waters, which the courts are supposed to float above. Even more disconcerting was the true tyranny of the minority on display when these six individuals overruled a 1.9 million strong majority of Washingtonians who supported Initiative 1185.

Always keep in mind, alcohol is a narcotic The other day a lady stopped me in Safeway and said her 17-year-old son had started fooling around with booze, as kids are prone to do. She told him that the indiscriminate use of alcohol could destroy his life, but he abruptly dismissed her warnings and — of all the crazy, contrary arguments he could have come up with — called upon my silly columns because, I presume, he knew his mother read them. He pointed out, “Wally in the newspaper drinks a lot.” Well, now, this certainly requires a bit of elaboration. It’s true that I tip a few martinis from time to time — and, of late, a few Fireballs as well. But I don’t drink nearly as much as some of my exaggerated writings might suggest. Nevertheless, to a teetotaler I’m probably the flaming town drunk. It’s all relative.

down 10 shots of tequila and you’ll wake up dead. If your genetic makeup is such that you’re prone to addiction, booze can be very habitual. I have some of that. I’m the first to admit that dinner simply doesn’t seem complete without wine and, to further reveal my dependency, I become uneasy in certain social situations if I don’t have a glass in my hand. Addiction-prone personalities should probably avoid booze altogether, unless you simply don’t give a damn if you’re hooked – which raises philosophical questions I’m not prepared to discuss at this time. Of late, there is ample evidence to indicate teenagers who drink heavily do permanent, irreversible damage to their higher and finer rational facilities. That should be ample warning to youngsters everywhere. I’ll close this column where I began, by reminding everyone – especially that 17-yearold – that alcohol is a hard narcotic.

Track coach expects success By Dennis Box Editor
The Enumclaw Hornets track and field team has 130 athletes competing this season. Coach Jenelle Murrell said the team should “see some spectacu-
lar things happen. The athletes have great attitudes and are working really hard.” Last year the girls’ team tied for the South Puget Sound League 3A championship and the boys finished in the middle of the pack. “With a number of athletes
returning we should see some great results as a team with perhaps two league champs,” Murrell said. “Expectations for the season would be for all athletes staying healthy, having a great time and
White River’s anticipated firepower was on display early, as the Hornets opened the baseball season by scoring double-digit runs in their first two outings. The team rolled to a 12-0, homefield win in Friday’s season opener, then posted a 10-2 victory over Chelan Saturday. Things then cooled a bit in Saturday’s second game, with the Hornets on the short end of a 6-5 decision to Anacortes. The spring season has started with an extended bang. White River also played games Monday and Tuesday – with results coming too late to be included here – giving the Hornets five contests in the season’s first five days. Friday’s five-inning victory over Lakes had Cole Johnson picking up

Returning talent highlights WR track By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
Some high-profile athletes were lost to graduation, but the White River High track program still trots out an impressive lineup of runners, throwers and jumpers. Coach Jerry Scheidt can lament the loss of distances aces like Marcus Dickson and Lauryn Wate, but there remains a lot of depth in the 90 or so Hornets who turned out this spring. The Hornet boys were a power a season ago, placing second at the Class 2A state meet. A handful of statecaliber performers return, including Devin Liebel, who finished second in the 110-meter hurdles, third in the 300 hurdles and ran a leg on the second-place 1,600-meter relay team. He will be doing the same events and periodically running sprints and short relays this year. Other noteworthy returnees are Austin May, a state participant in the 400
meters and 1,600 relay; Nick Wells, who went to state in the 100 meters; and Scott Anderson, who qualified for state in both the shot put and javelin. Anderson
is rehabilitating from knee surgery and is expected to start slowly, then peak later in the season. In the distance and middle-distance runs, there
are familiar faces in Chris Fisher, Wes Fueston and Brandon Scheer. Fisher has the fourth-fastest time in the 1,600 meters in school history.

Coming off a successful 2012 campaign, veteran soccer coach Russ DeFord believes he might be looking at the best team he has put on the field at White River High. Last year’s group had some early troubles and finished fourth in the South Puget Sound League 2A, but polished off a pair of playoff opponents to earn the program’s first trip to the state tournament. Many of those who helped with last year’s run are back for another season. Among those expected to make a significant impact are Zac Morris, Taylor Moser, Conner Dayton, Johnny Tapia-Anaya and Will Kohout. Sophomore Tyler Williams has moved up from the junior varsity ranks to take over the goalkeeping duties. “We’re going to score a lot of goals,” DeFord predicted. In years past, he’s generally had one serious offensive threat on the field; this time around, he’ll have the luxury of putting two or three good strikers in the lineup.

The Enumclaw High School girls water polo team is in the water and ready to win. According to coaches Ken DeMan and Bob Averill, the team is young and talented. Returning to the water are senior Bella Davenport, 2012 all-league honorable mention; junior Megan Lesmeister, 2012 allleague first team and all-state second team; and sophomores Bailey Sexton, Hayley Sonneson and Madi Woodall. Joining the veterans are freshmen Kate Braun, Sierra Clough, Anna Davenport, Brandi Meneghini, Lauren Pratt, Grace Sales and Megan Wolgamot. Saturday, the team traveled to Lakewood for the annual Lakes jamboree. The Hornets went 1-3, losing to Roosevelt 10-5, beating Bellevue 15-0 and losing to Curtis 13-2 and Mercer Island 5-2.

There’s lasting value in taking time to ‘be still’ Depending upon your faith tradition, you may or may not observe Lent. Lent is the 40 days that precedes Easter. It has as its Biblical roots the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness prior to his crucifixion. Lent begins with Ash Wednesday and comes to a conclusion on Easter Sunday. Characteristically, for those who observe Lent, it is a time of prayer, penance and
repentance. These Lenten practices are most often observed in varying degrees by Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists and Presbyterians. Cindy Ehlke Frequently you will Calvary Presbyterian hear people talk about what they plan to give up for Lent. Usually, people will give up some luxury such as coffee lattés, chocolate and the like. For me, those two items are at the top of my food chain so

I am not likely to give them up; even when I tried, I would usually fail and just feel even worse for trying. While my examples my seem a bit tongue-in-cheek, the point I am making is that I did not have the discipline to give up something and this made me feel less prepared, rather than more prepared, for Easter. I did not feel closer to God nor did I feel I had given my best to appreciate what Jesus did for me. This year I thought it would be more appropriate to add something to my spiritual practice that would bring me closer to
God. Making more time to pray is something I decided to add to my Lenten observance. In Scripture we hear the command, “Be still and know that I am God.” If you are like me, prayer is often done on the run, squeezed in around a busy schedule. That was definitely not taking time to be still so I could come to know God better. So here is what I have done during Lent to improve my prayer practice. First, I set aside some time in the evening just before

CHURCH FROM 13
going to bed. This works for me because my day is nearly over and there is not much more to cram into the end of the day. I found a leather-bound journal and decided to use it to record my thoughts and progress. Then comes the hard part – trying to be still before God, to actually listen for him. When my mind wandered, I would just bring myself back and keep trying. Then I would write down my insights and thoughts.
After a period of meditation, I would add my usual prayers for family, friends and things that worry me. It is amazing what you gain from a planned period of time like this. Now, I must admit, that there are days where I have missed a prayer quiet time. However, I do not let this get me down. I just keep on trying. I do not think this kind of spiritual practice needs to be confined to Lent. In fact, it can be done any time. Time spent quietly in prayer is a year-round spiritual discipline that will yield results of lasting value.
