On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Michael and Lindsay

This is a post I hope my children will see and it brings them comfort and strength and knowledge.

The Book of Common Prayer has a devotional that will guide you throughout your life. A set of prayers that cover just about all the bases and this will walk you through the Bible in a way that makes sense. You will learn and grow in your walk with our Lord.

I don't have words to describe how much this helps me. I read in the morning when I wake up. I read a loud so that the angels and all other spirits can hear (and any humans that might hear) and to nourish myself and above all to praise God with His own words. I read at night before I fall asleep. Talking with God in the morning as I arise and at night before I sleep.

There is a book called Common Prayer and there is this website which walks us through the days.

I would recommend the 'brief' versions, morning and evening prayers.

This is what I was going to email you guys this morning because I love how it summarizes what we believe as Christians:

The Apostles' Creed.

I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
  And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
  I believe in the Holy Ghost: The holy Catholic Church; The Communion of Saints: The Forgiveness of sins: The Resurrection of the body: And the Life everlasting. Amen.


I love you both so much and I pray that you will come to know the joy of loving God.

  • Thank you Father thank you.
  • Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
  • O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.
