Well, I lost a few days between Annual Conference and other travels in getting my daily posts up. Now that things are settling back in to a more normal schedule again, let's see if we can pick up where we left off!

I will begin with this evening's prayer that is dedicated to my friends Neal and Elaine who are getting married tomorrow. May Elaine and Neal and all of those other newlyweds be held and blessed by the hand of God!

Here is this evening's prayer:

Hand in hand Prayer

Hand in hand, we come before you, O Lord. Hand in hand, we are stepping out in faith... We, who are gathered here, ask that you would take this couple into your hands. Help them, O Lord, to keep firm in the commitments they have just made. Guide them, O God, as they become a family, as they each, change through the years. May they be flexible as they are faithful. And Lord, help us all to be your hands if there be need. Strengthen, tenderly all of our commitments, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
