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.

OLD SARGE REFUGEE REPORT #3:

The Home Detachment is still at the hotel room of yesterday - the updates are terrible. No power to over 600,000 people statewide, power not expected to be restored for up to a week in places, and more snow expected Monday.

Schools and most businesses remain closed today and tomorrow. Power is out over wide swaths of the city, as people struggle with the cold, and crews struggle with the damage.

The Home Detachment will most likely be able to move out of the hotel and into a relative’s house for the siege; there is power, heat, but no Web access except perhaps dialup. We’ll just see how that goes...

For now, at least everything is okie-doke!

Further Bulletins As Events Warrant!
