Lord God, heavenly Father, we gratefully remember on this day the glorious manifestation of Your Son’s divinity on the Mount of Transfiguration. Teach us to listen to Jesus and ever fix our eyes on Him and His innocent suffering and death for our forgiveness. By Your grace and mercy, strengthen us to remain faithful in all circumstances of trial, temptation and persecution. Preserve us to the end, that we may die a blessed death believing in Your beloved Son with whom You are well pleased; through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Day Off

Last week was a pretty busy week – any time you add a funeral service into the mix, the calendar tends to bet a little bit crowded.  Tuesday evolved into a longer day than usual – it happens when one’s wife gets sick on a day that starts with the dentist and ends at the dance studio.  So, yesterday I took the day off.

All these things we pray, O Lord, in confidence of Your mercy. Supply us with all things needed and beneficial to us and to our faith, and keep from us all things harmful, that we may rest our fears in You and be granted a clear conscience and peace; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

A Week in the Life

They say things tend to go in spurts. In an NBA game a 20-point lead can evaporate in minutes. It is easier to win game seven in a winning streak than game two. Funerals often come in threes. I think I just may be in the midst of one of those spurts this week!

Authentic

 It has been a long time – at least according to my limited memory – since we have had a January like this.  Overnight temperatures in single digits on a regular basis, and it is not even supposed to reach 20 degrees until this weekend.  And when was the last day we did not see at least a few snow flurries in the air?  This is what I would call an “authentic winter.”

The Long and Winding …

 I wonder if anything special occurred on Sunday night in the lives of the people in the 100-plus car pileup they were in on the west side of our state on Monday morning?  I wonder how they are all doing today after their long and winding event on Monday?   Since this news story I have personally heard three additional winding tales that look to be long … and I am wondering if any of us will encounter any surprising/shocking turns this day?

January in the D!

I got up a little after 5:00 a.m. yesterday to take my walk and the weather was beautiful.  The temperature was about 40 degrees.  The breeze was practically non-existent.  I found myself over-dressed, even with my light-weight gloves.  And, by the time I was showered and in my car, the colors of the eastern sky were gorgeous.

Almighty and everlasting God, who governs all things in heaven and on earth, mercifully hear the prayers of Your people and grant us Your peace through all our days; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
