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?
Interestingly , today is Ex-Spouse Day. Perhaps more interestingly, today is also International Be Kind to Lawyers Day.
Coincidence?
That's a bit hard to believe, although it's interesting to note that coincidences always seem to happen at the same time, isn't it? That should make you wonder.
Now, more of that 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.
#743 - FOR THE CHURCH
O God our Father, we pray for thy Church, which is set today amid the perplexities of a changing order, and face to face with new tasks. Baptize her afresh in the life-giving spirit of Jesus! Bestow upon her a great responsiveness to duty, a swifter compassion with suffering, and an utter loyalty to the will of God. Help her to proclaim boldly the coming of the kingdom of God. Put upon her lips the ancient Gospel of her Lord. Fill her with the prophets' scorn of tyranny, and with a Christlike tenderness for the heavy-laden and downtrodden. Bid her cease from seeking her own life, lest she lose it. Make her valiant to give up her life to humanity that, like her crucified Lord, she may mount by the path of the Cross to a higher glory; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. 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
