Rosemary's Blessing

I, God, am in your midst.

Whoever knows me can never fall.

Not in the heights, nor the depths, nor in the breadths.

For I am love, which the vast expanses of evil can never still.

Bulletin 5 on the Lumbar Stenosis event:

1. Surgery at Dallas Presby yesterday to take the pinch off of my spinal nerve which sent pain from my derriere all the way to my right foot & arch.
2. the only pain now comes from the incision.  This was expected to be pretty significant.  Remedy: 2 pain pills.  Result: no pain, but significant dizziness.  I thought I had downed 2 shots of Jack Daniels.

Rosemary's Blessing:

O God, when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work,
help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a home,
help me to remember those who have no home at all;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer,
And remembering,
help me to destroy my complacency;
bestir my compassion,
and be concerned enough to help;
By word and deed,
those who cry out for what we take for granted.
Amen.
