Our True Home

Another prayer from Walter Bruggemann:

Our True Home

God before and God behind,
God for us and God for your own self,
Maker of heaven and earth,
creator of sea and sky,
governor of day and night.
We give thanks for your ordered gift of life to us,
for the rhythms that reassure,
for the equilibriums that sustain,
for the reliabilities that curb our anxieties.
We treasure from you,
days to work and nights to rest.
We cherish from you,
days to control and nights to dream.
We savor from you,
days to plan and nights to dream.
Be our day and our night,
our heaven and our earth,
our sea and our sky,
and in the end our true home. Amen.
(Old Testament theology class /November 12, 1998)

Whimsical Wednesday, November 23, 2011

Today's edition of Whimsical Wednesday is particularly bookish.  I had to laugh at the "Nerd Quirks" especially.  I think all of them are true of me!  As always, leave me a comment if one of these particularly caught your attention.  Or, if you're bookish, tell me that I'm not the only one!

Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 98

Today's Daily 5:

1. That my temp job is being flexible in allowing me to leave work early several days this week to take care of immunizations and other appointments required for entry into nursing
2. A nurse with an accent that gave her away as being from Newfoundland (totally made me smile - plus you gotta love a nurse who looks at you after realizing she's going to have to use a minorly unsafe procedure for handling a needle and tells you that when you're a nurse you shouldn't ever do what she's about to do, or you'll get your butt fired!)
3. thankful for drug insurance that covered most of the cost of one of the vaccinations I had to get today
4. thankful for online booking available for blood tests (since it took 4 tries to get through and 20 minutes on hold the last time I booked an appointment)
5. chocolate with hazelnuts.  so good.
