Face Time With God
Technically, Moses was the first person with a tablet downloading data from a cloud. But, you don’t have to spend forty years in the desert to get face-time with God. May you be blessed with a rich and rewarding spiritual life.
Spread the Word
Love for God is contagious. Catch it from someone who has it, give it to someone who doesn’t. May you be blessed to spread the Word.
Proud of Yourself
It was hard and it took you a long time to get what you have today. Appreciate it, give thanks for it, and don’t allow anyone to take it from you. May God bless you with pride in your accomplishments.
Prayers for Blessings
Use your lips for truth, voice for kindness, ears for compassion, hands for charity, and your heart for love. Most importantly, use your prayers for blessing.
Day-to-Day
Are you bogged down in the details of day-to-day life? Don’t let the best part of the day slip away. May God bless you with release from unnecessary preparation. Plan for tomorrow, but don’t miss out on today.

Quiet Prayer of Thanks
As long as the sun shall rise goes the old lovers vow. But we are children of a scientific age & have no time for poetry. Still, I offer a quiet prayer of thanks for the sunlight each time I see your face.
