More Dad-on-Facebook Fun

He has a small photo album up, mostly with pictures of me and Allie. Per my request, under one  particularly unfortunate one of me at 14, he's posted: "To: Everyone Who Might Be Viewing This Photo- Please be informed that my daughters no longer look like this. They have grown out of that awkward phase, and now have blossomed into graceful beautiful young women. Sincerely, Their Dad."

John (the best friend) had several impressively long and unfamiliar words in his status and religious views, so I looked them up and posted the definitions on his wall, thanking him for helping me study for the GRE. He's now left me six wall posts with different words-of-the-day. Sweet.

I love my family.

Human Needs Global Resources Covenant, 2009

As fellow travelers on this journey, we commit to this covenant before God. Lord, in Your mercy, hear these our prayers:

When confronted with scarcity, need, and inadequacy, may we be nourished by the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation. Abundance overflows from Your table, sustaining all who come in faith. Father, help us.

When monotony blurs our vision and dulls our senses, may we encounter others as Christ did, through intentional presence in daily life, submitting as clay to be formed into vessels filled with the Spirit. Christ, guide us.

When wounded by the fractured condition of Your people, may we be united by Your Lordship in faith, hope, and love; seeing, as through the facets of a diamond, the beautiful spectrum of Your light reflected onto Your holy Church joined in praise. Spirit, empower us.

When all Creation groans, afflicted by injustice and driven to despair, may the promise of redemption root us in the hope of Your Kingdom: "Behold, I am making all things new!"

Holy Trinity, send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve You with gladness and singleness of heart.

Amen.
