The yogis at Solomon\u2019s Porch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Last night in yoga, I couldn\u2019t help but smile. I know I\u2019m supposed to be totally and completely focused on the moment \u2014 and I was \u2014 but I was also thinking about the past. When I wrote\u00a0The Sacred Way<\/em><\/a>, editors and Zondervan made me take out two passages: one that mentioned drinking a beer, and one that referred to a yoga pose. (It didn\u2019t matter that the pose I mentioned was in the context of a spiritual retreat led by Zondervan partner, Youth Specialties and Mike Yaconelli.) No yoga. No way.<\/p>\n
