We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
What's this? Today is National Peach Cobbler Day? Can one really make a living making shoes for fruit, or is this just a hobby? Who knew peaches even had feet? (Google "cobbler" if you don't get it.)
Today is also Thomas Jefferson Day (oddly, it's his actual birthday - he turns the big 277 today). You know, Thomas Jefferson. The author of the Declaration of Independence. The third President of these United States. The guy on the nickel. The one on Mt. Rushmore who gets mistaken for Martha Washington. His memorial in Washington, DC is really cool, and it's one of the least visited of the big memorials. Go see it. (Go see Mt. Rushmore too, it's spectacular.)
Now, the start of an limited run series here - the prayers in the back of the Methodist Hymnal (the 1964/66 one). I'll insert names in them rather than just the titles as in the original as appropriate.
#742 - FOR ALL CONDITIONS OF MEN
O God, the creator and preserver of all mankind: we humbly beseech thee for all sorts and conditions of men; that thou wouldst be pleased to make thy ways known unto them, thy saving health unto all nations. More especially, we pray for thy holy Church universal, that it may be so guided and governed by thy good Spirit, that all who profess and call themselves Christians may be led into the way of truth, and hold the faith in unity of spirit, in the bond of peace, and in righteousness of life. Finally, we commend to thy fatherly goodness all those who are in any way afflicted or distressed in mind, body, or estate; that it may please thee to comfort and relieve them according to their several necessities, giving them patience under their suffering, and a happy issue out of all their afflictions. And this we ask for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
In times like these, it's more important than ever to come together. Grand Teuton Press is proud to join the #StayHome Movement uniting our entire industry to encourage everyone to stay home if you can to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Together we can save lives. #AloneTogether
