I am ending this blog
Pray for me. Please pray for me. I beg it of you.
This is the end. What goes on between God and myself is for us and only us, and cannot be here anymore.
Creator of this World, from the greatest Tempest to the smallest Rose, hear my thanks.
Pray for me. Please pray for me. I beg it of you.
"Lord, hold the people of New Orleans in your loving hands. Protect them in their time of need and bring an end to their suffering. Bless them and their families and let your will be done. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
Can you draw out Leviathan (the crocodile) with a fishhook or press down its tongue with a cord? Can you put a rope in its nose or pierce its jaw with a hook? Will it make many supplications to you? Will it speak soft words to you? Will it make a covenant with you to be taken your servant forever? Will you play with it as with a bird, or will you put it on a leash for your girls? Will traders bargain over it? Will they divide it up among the merchants? Can you fill its skin with harpoons, or its head with fishing spears?
Up there! Hey! Thank you for this wonderful day. It wasn't too bright, not too dark either. Just perfect, so my eyes aren't hurting either way! Thank you for my ability to feel. Thank you for both my hunger and fullness. Thank you for these people who surround me. They make me happy.
So I was working on some homework, it was a beautiful day, I looked at the Belltower and prayed for a second, more a comment then a prayer. "Thank you," I said, "For this beautiful day!"
Today on the bus, we passed it. What God has been showing me. I don't know why it was touching, furthermore, I don't exactly know how to get back. I don't know how safe it will be and I don't know what to do about it.
Hear my cry, O God;
