Peace and Tranquility

This is my rest stop tonight. I'd love to be on a wee boat just drifting about on this massive lake with a Thermos of black coffee. Maybe a doughnut. Yeah, a chocolate covered one.

Regina - Your request has been done, I hope! I deleted the orginal, copied and pasted from your blog and added again. Hope it squares the problem away - whatever it may be.; January 7, 2009 at 3:37 AM

Sarah - Kala said...: Okay, Dawn, you bring the doughnuts, I'll bring coffee and Therese can make us laugh!; January 7, 2009 at 6:24 AM
Dawn said...: Wait a minute! I'll bring the coffee! I'm liable to jump right out of the boat after a cup of yours! :) You bring the doughnuts, you're better at picking cool desserts!; January 7, 2009 at 10:12 AM
Sarah - Kala said...: Dawn, are you suggesting my coffee is jolting?!? Well, at least you didn't say it's revolting. Okay, I'll bring the sweets. Pretty much every cup of coffee is good black.; January 7, 2009 at 12:05 PM

Warrior Prayers

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.

V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray. O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

From Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Blogger's Prayer

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck,

manage to visit all that visit me,

and post regularly -
all in 5 minutes a day,

so that I can clean house
and take care of my family.

Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post,

and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well.

Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life.

And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
