Dear God:
Thank you so much for another week on earth - for the people + events that have inspired me - So much "stuff" that distracts me from your Love + Peace - Trying to do a little better - Thanks for your patience ----

All Along the Bell Tower

I’m scared for the people in the Atchafalaya Basin as they await all that water.
I’m thankful at the same time that New Orleans, the place which gave to me and took away so much from me, will be spared as a result.
My heart is very heavy for Louisiana right now.

It has been hard to hear, ‘be cheerful aways”. Life is difficult and sad at times... loss of jobs, broken marriages, addiction, disease...
Your people cry out to You, & we wait.
Yet, I am aware of the blessings, too. Love, Laughter, Hope, Perseverance.
Happy 6th Birthday, BSM.

Thank God for --- and ------ and ---- and ----- and -------- and all who have Spring birthdays. Let us celebrate their existence.

OH Father
All of my time has been spent without a place to call Home. My whole lif has been spent looking. Please Lord let my search end, Where is my home?

Dear Lord
Precious Holy Spirit
Direct our steps
Guide the path of your people.
Teach me your ways
may I forget some of my own unhelpful ways.

Holy Lord,
I want to be included and held in your embrace. Please work in me to make me well. I desire to be healthy to better do your will.

We are reminded, God, that we are still mired in broken systems and a broken world. We still struggle to find reasons to celebrate. Hear us when we pray, heal the world, reconcile us to one another and us to you, God. Reveal the ultimate celebration, the feast in your kingdom, here on Earth. Amen.
