My Dearly Beloved,
I prayed for all of you today and fasted.

This past week I have had a lot of fun playing with my C. I did have one blowup with my W, staying 30 secs longer than I should have. I have been there for her, she has gone to the ER twice this past week for the same prob (one of her fingers became infected from rags used for cleaning at work - yesterday the pain was too much, and stiff, so she took herself to the ER and performed minor surgery). I went in late for work so I could dress the C and get our D to school. I am praying for her and I know (feel) that God is angry over her rejecting him and continuing to pursue the D. This was her 4th visit to the ER since Sept 2003.

I had a great Bible reading session with my church; only two other people but it was good. The leader related something that our assoc pastor had said in Sunday's Homily, "People want to be served, and not too interested in serving."
Think about that - noone has taken this weekly prayer over and that is truly sad <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> .

I will be calling the churches spiritual director tomorrow and I will let you know what happens.

I have been more diligent in my Bible reading, about 45 mins/day, but have slacked off on my structured prayers. However, I have increased my impromptu prayer - I have a cross in the basement, about 14 inches long, and most times when I go down there, I spend a few minutes praying and looking at Jesus' body hanging on the cross.

That's what is up with me.

"Father, comfort the hearts of your sons and daugthers at this site. Draw forth Your chosen one to take over this important ministry. Enlighten those considering this that their own style is appropriate for this; there is no need to copy or hold themselves to the style and form of their predecessors. THEIR LOVE FOR THE PRAYER WARRIORS IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT. May we not go another week without a new minister in this important service of fellowship and love. I ask this by Jesus' Most Precious Blood. Amen."

"And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send? and who shall go for us? And I said: Lo, here am I, send me. (Isa 6:8)

Love and Peace in Christ,
