A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE
 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Hiya Ma, what's up with you?

I'm heading over the mountains tomorrow to find a new place to live.

I did indeed Sally Forth today - the traffic has gotten substantially worse over the last month. I was about ten minutes late getting out the door and ended up not making it to the Office until 0800. We had heavy thunderstorms this afternoon - the evening commute was another treat. :)

I've been on this project now for 15 months - it was only supposed to last 4-6 weeks - but refuses to die. :)

Tough day...making payroll corrections right up to check print time. Made it, barely.

I’m ready for bed and it’s only 6:10p. LOL!

Prayers for safe travels on your journey.

Over the mountains, Army Bro? I've forgotten where you are - you've left Oregon, IIRC.
