I hope so too, but if not, we'll try for November or the hollydays.  :-*  Wish I could blow off the work stuff and join you for PA.  ;)

I meditate on thse words and what comes to me is that it is involking a positive space in which we can trive and excell, No mater what we belive. I don;t think of God as a bearded guy on a cloud, perhaps good is a good attitude, or a good attitude is a facet of God.

Anyway, I will pray it ever day.

Brother Patrick, I sought peace at a stressful moment in my workday today by thinking silently, "Engineer my circumstances, O Lord, according to Your will." I gave it all over, if only for a moment, to the One Who IS. I also stopped in my tracks for a sec, closed my eyes, and thought to my myself, "Be still, and know that I am God."

We really, truly need never fear. I know I will fear more, because the body is weak and is prone to the spasms of animal feeling, but at least I know on some level that it is not necessary. Everything will work out, everything has been worked out, as it should be. We are only called upon to sit back and watch the show.
