Colossians 3: And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

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.

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.
