a recommended devotional plan

This one is from Pastor J.R. Vassar, who blogged last year on the importance of having an intentional devotional life:  http://jrvassar.posterous.com/planning-an-intentional-devotional-life-for-2

The Silence which is the source of sound

Twentieth-century Quaker Thomas Kelly wrote, “Over the margins of life comes a whisper, a faint call, a premonition of richer living which we know we are passing by. We have hints that there is a way of life vastly richer and deeper than all this hurried existence, a life of unhurried serenity and peace and power. If only we could slip over into that Center! If only we could find the Silence which is the source of sound!”

How to fight loneliness

How to fight loneliness? Smile all the time Shine you teeth 'til meaningless And sharpen them with lies And whatever's going down Will follow you around That's how you fight loneliness You laugh at every joke Drag your blanket blindly And fill your heart with smoke And the first thing that you want Will be the last thing you ever need That's how you fight it Just smile all the time Just smile all the time Just smile all the time Just smile all the time

prayer for St. Thomas' Day

Almighty and everliving God, who strengthened your apostle Thomas with sure and certain faith in your Son's resurrection: Grant us so perfectly and without doubt to believe in Jesus Christ, our Lord and our God, that our faith may never be found wanting in your sight; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

on seeking after God

"If you are seeking after God,
You may be sure of this:
God is seeking after you more."

I haven't read much from  her but it's good to honor various Christian "saints".

Prayer appointed for the week

Merciful God, who sent your messengers the prophets to preach repentance and prepare the way for our salvation: Grant us grace to heed their warnings and forsake our sins, that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ our Redeemer; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
