I was in the car driving the other day on my way to Target. I was by myself which is rare, so I was just spending some quality time thinking and praying about my life lately. I have to admit I’ve been struggling to keep up with everything that’s been going on with my marriage, my kids, my career, and my faith. I guess you could say I’ve just had a feeling of being very busy and burdened lately, and I think my family and my “self” are paying the price. I’ll admit I’m keeping all the balls in the air sort-of-speak, but I’m not sure that I’m doing it very well. The one huge hole in my life is my inconsistency in my faith/prayer life.

Anyways, I’m driving in the car, and I see my rosary sitting there in the front console. The Holy Spirit inspired me with an idea.. Just like well-known blogger Steve Pavlina had the 1,000,000 experiment, I’m going to blog for the next 30 days about what I’m going to call the “The Rosary Experiment.” I’m going to pray the five decades of the rosary everyday for at least 30 days and record my findings in my blog. We’ll see how it affects my life and the lives of those around me.

It’s not like I’m a stranger to the rosary. I pray it every so often especially on major feasts, but I’ve never been consistent about it. I love the Blessed Mother, and I know her intercession is incredibly powerful. It will be interesting to see what the next 30 days will entail.

Feel free to join me (even if you’re reading this much after it’s written) and record your experiences, God-moments, etc. in the comments. If you haven’t said the rosary in a long time or have never said one, I highly encourage you to joy me. Really, what do we have to lose? We only have grace to gain as a matter of fact!

If you need help here’s a link on to how to pray the rosary.
