Recovering Father

Sounds too much like a recovering addict... but I digress...

I could not post an entry yesterday for obvious reasons. But a full day's rest seemed to work. Hey, I'm back posting, so I guess I'm feeling better. Tried to finish HappySlip's live chat session yesterday morning but my body quit on me... So I just elected to download all her videos on iTunes to view them later. Maybe I can catch the next session instead...

Watching some of them last Friday was the only thing that kept me from getting worse... aside from Marvin's cognac and beef kebab...

I hope we could do something for Father's Day. My kids already gave me their cards. Yes, Nico made one of his own from school. I'll probably post them later but I'm too lazy to scan them since the scanner is connected to the PC and not to any of my Macs.

I greeted my dad and he said his "Same to you..." bit...

We'll probably have something delivered a little later.

So I'll just get some more rest today to even hope to play at this afternoon's mass.

Enjoy the rest of your week. And to all the fathers (and single mothers), Happy Father's Day!

(To the fathers, I'll add, "May you have many more mothers to come...")

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
