Gramma 2 Many said...: Finally made it over to get caught up on my reading. You have been one busy gal, I must say.
School starting in August? What gives there? When do they get out? I guess when you live in the tropics, it really does not matter when they go, does it?
Your new blog name threw me a curve. I did not know who it was when it appeared on my dashboard. Even the new look took me a moment to realize whose blog it was. Love it!; August 2, 2009 at 9:45 AM
Sarah - Kala said...: Thanks, Marcy! Actually, I must admit this was one my girl took whilst we were living at the Hale Koa (way back when . . . it seems so long ago, but it was the first part of June). :)

Gramma 2 Many - I'm glad you like the changes, even if it had you wondering. I figured some would wonder, but I hope they wander over anyway! It seems like they go to school all year, but really, they get plenty of breaks spread out and only get about a month and two weeks summer break (longer holiday breaks, though). Foul weather days don't exist here and I think that is part of the reason. :); August 2, 2009 at 10:50 AM

Dawn said...: hey?!?! I though this was supposed to be Silent Sunday! What's with all the comments sister! :); August 2, 2009 at 1:06 PM
Sarah - Kala said...: Dawn - Sunday Silence was never explained to me to be anything other than a post w/out my run-on sentences. :) {{HUGS}} You know how I have rhea-rhea of the fingertips!!!; August 2, 2009 at 1:33 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.
