KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.

And Happy Birthday to you too, keith.
You know I had to stop by on this one. To some degree, a granson is a new start, hence, happy birthday.
You've shared much of your life with your granson and your daughter, so thank you for doing so. It seems like yesterday that you were telling us they were moving out of your house, how has that been for you?
In about 3 weeks my grandson (about the same age) is coming (by his self) to visit me. He's a southern boy so I can't wait to take him sled riding. My daughter is just as excited because she remembers the days that her and I tumbled down many hills. One such day I broke my wrist because her mother and she refused to roll off my back on the way to hitting a park car. A screaming wife and a small laughing child was no match for an Electra 225.
Again, happy birthday and take plenty of pictures.
awwwwwwwwwwwww, Happy birthday to him too. How are you doing sweets!?!?
