Resting

My nose hurts now, too.

I had to cancel/reschedule my girl's dental appointment. She is not in any pain so she thinks she can hang in there (so do I). I cannot drag my sorry backside into public with my nose running, my throat scratchy and feeling like I'm going to hurl from swallowing a ton of snot. Yeah, I know: too much information. My head is swimming and my stomach is churning. I am hungry and nothing tastes good. Nothing. Not even chicken soup.

But, I'll be okay. I have to be. I need to get well enough so I can celebrate our 17 years of marriage this Saturday. I want to go out and eat something someone else had to slave over, yeah? And, next week is that darn Khaki Ball. No time to shop for a new outfit. That's okay as I have enough nice stuff hanging in the closet.

Thank you for the well wishes and prayers. While you're praying, let's pray for a safe and happy delivery of Therese's baby girl today. Amen!

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.
