Samuel is six years old today!

And so wise--instead of wanting a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, he said he wanted to go to the Beach! Yeah! So later today it's off to the Gulf Coast for us.

Praise God and thank you Jesus for so bright a light as Samuel in my life. His mother and he are the sum of my Earthly joy, the summit of my pleasure in creation, and my home here on Earth. God grant that it ever be so--that second only to Him they be my heart and my joy.

Thanks for your help!

We turn to you that we may be orgiven
For crucifying Christ on Earth again.
We know that we have never wholly striven,
Forgetting self, to love the other man.

Free every heart from pride and self-reliance,
Our ways of thought inspire with simple grace;
Break down among us barriers of defiance,
Speak to the soul of all the human race. (Hymn from morning prayer)
