Heart Of Wisdom

So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:19 (RSV), Scott Walker in Daily Guideposts - 2010, 29 April)

Mind, Body, Spirit

Just for today, care for your mind, your body and your spirit as acknowledgement of God and in service to the world. (Iyanla Vanzant, Until Today! 30 April) 30 May 2012

Most Gracious Lord

Most gracious Lord,

• I implore you to keep me from the cares of this life, lest I find myself entangled in them;
• from the body's wants, lest I become enslaved to them;
• from every obstacle of the soul, lest I break under the anxiety and utterly collapse.

(Thomas 'A Kempis, The Imitation Of Christ, Book 3, Chapter 26, p. 116)

War Is Stupid

There is nothing that war has ever achieved we could not better achieve without it. (Havelock Ellis in Selected Essays)

Lord, grant peace to our fallen and their families.  Bestow wisdom on those in power throughout the world. Protect all of us from the stupid decisions of our leaders.
