caught by surprise

I keep meaning to say something about this but forgetting when I'm actually at the computer. The other day, on the way home from work, I caught myself repeating the Jesus prayer in my head. I have no idea when I'd started or how long I'd been doing it, but I think it's the first time I've noticed myself doing that involuntarily. I make no pretense that it's prayer of the heart (though I wouldn't say my attitude was out of line with what I was saying). More realistically, I'm just forming a habit in my head. Still, it's got to be a good first step to something, right?
