a pueblo indian prayer

Hold on to what is good,
even if it's a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe,
even if it's a tree that stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do,
even if it's a long way from here.

Hold on to your life,
even if it's easier to let go.

Hold on to my hand,
even if I've gone away from you.

national day of prayer

Managing to put a lot of babies to bed this week I'm taking tomorrow off. It being a National Day of Prayer, I need to spend some time on my knees. It's a shame I actually need an excuse to pray. Normally I wouldn't even mention such matters, but no one reads this blog; no one cares, so I'm bragging to no one.

I'd go to the 1st baptist Church's prayer breakfast at 7:30am... but that's awfully early in the morning, and I'm not sure I want to be eating anything that early. The church I attend has midweek service on Thursday evenings so this works out well.
