Lenten Prayer

Slow me down, Lord.

Slow me down!

Ease my pounding heart;

Quiet my racing mind;

Soothe my frayed nerves;

Relax my tired muscles.

Teach me the art of taking minute vacations,

Of keeping in touch with myself,

Of listening to the voice of God

and drawing from it new light,

new strength, and new courage.

Slow me down Lord.

Slow me down!

Case of the broken alarm clock.....

It seems that my alarm clock was broken this morning. It went off at 5am when I didn't have it set at all; today was the only day this week we didn't have to get up early. After it woke me up, it proceeded into Madisyn's room and, instead of it's normal "beep, beep, beep," it used a new, "gooo mooning sissy (good morning sissy)." Meet my alarm clock, her name is Grace:)
