My camera is currently vacationing in Southeast Asia.  The last I heard, it was soaking up some rays on Koh Phangan, an island off the coast of Thailand.  So, I don’t have any new photos to post.  But what’s a post without any pics?  Here’s an older picture I found on my work computer.  I like to look at it when I’m feeling frazzled.

Found this in my stack of work mail this morning -

“I will try this day to live a simple, sincere, serene life, repelling every thought of discontent, self-seeking and anxiety; cultivating magnanimity, self-control and the habit of silence; practicing economy, cheerfulness and helpfulness.And as I cannot in my own strength do this, or even with a hope of success attempt it, I look to thee, O Lord my Father, in Jesus Christ, my Savior, and ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit.”  (A Morning Prayer and Resolve – by Bishop Vincent)

… I couldn’t even get through the first semicolon without letting out a “ha!” followed by a deep sigh…
