Rosemary's Blessing:   

May you treasure wisely this jeweled, gilded time

And cherish each day as an extra grace

Whose heedless loss would be a tragic crime

In today’s tasks may you find God’s tender face

And may the Lord of the Dance bless you

As He invites you to the dance of the hollowed present.

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    Lord

    Enlighten what’s dark in me,

    Strengthen what’s weak in me,

    Mend what’s broken in me,

    Heal what’s sick in me,

    And lastly,

    Revive whatever peace and love

    Has died in me.

    Amen.

      Exiting Storm Lake after a storm

    We passed a rainy night in Storm Lake, appropriately.  A second storm passed overhead at 7:00 A.M., heading west to east really swiftly.  By 8:45 we could head out following the storm, but not in rain.  The day turned beautiful and we arrived dry in the beautiful over night town of Fort Dodge, the former home of Kent & Diane.

    Rosemary’s Blessing:

    Dear Lord, please give me
    A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;
    A work to do which has real value,
    without which the world would be the poorer;
    A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed;
    A sense of humor;
    Time for quiet, silent meditation;
    The patience to wait for the coming of these things,
    Amen.
