It’s Wednesday, and so I am sharing my “prayer post” from Facebook here. Plus, I’ll add more thoughts since I have more room! The first psalm in tonight’s evening prayer (Liturgy of the Hours) is Psalm 62. It is my favorite psalm, and I love a lot of psalms! I have heard and sung many…
It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Today, I had a lot to do. Much of that is due to not getting things done last week. But at some point, I just need to catch up! I am heading to Chicago tomorrow to attend the annual Heartbeat International Conference. So, I needed to do laundry, pack…plus make some calls regarding next week’s…
