So. . . This Is The Road I Am Traveling On: That's It!

That's It!

I'm in no particular hurry to get things done today, but I have a "to do" list a mile long and would like to start it at 9am this morning. In seventeen minutes I'd like to be in the van driving to the post office. Sadly, it is not going to happen that soon. My intestines are taking a trip first. When they finally decide they are done tormenting and assaulting me, I will shower (that always makes me feel better) and head out. I have a box to mail to my daddy. It's his birthday soon and I want to get it mailed today.

If I determine I am validly ill (and not IBS), I'll be sure to douse myself in Lysol spray before I leave. That box is getting mailed out today.

Am I the only one who feels like Christmas is coming too soon? Advent first.

I'm woefully unprepared for anything lately.

Hope you feel better soon!; November 16, 2009 at 11:48 AM

Hope you're feeling better! God bless!; November 16, 2009 at 12:35 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.
