There’s no way, in my present state of mind, I can continue the planned essays on prayer. I confess I am royally screwed.
They were to be loftier than I can manage at the moment. I started using the short Benedictine Breviary, but am finding it a lot more busy than I want my prayer life to be, so I have retreated to the fall back position of
- AM psalms + gospel;
- PM psalms + epistle, and
- the Hebrew Bible when I get around to it, which is not often enough.
For several days I’ve grumped at God, a consciousness like that of morning minus sunrise and coffee.
Hoping for better days, I’ll pass along a nugget from my preaching course with George Buttrick. It’s a bit dated but still lustrous.
He said preaching is like the boardwalk at Atlantic City. The preacher needs to preach on the ocean, not the amusements.

I have witnessed that fees for online degree specialists tend to be an incredible value. For instance a full 4-year college Degree in Communication from The University of Phoenix Online consists of Sixty credits with $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online provides a Bachelors of Business Administration with a total study course requirement of 180 units and a tuition fee of $30,560. Online learning has made taking your degree far more easy because you can certainly earn your degree in the comfort in your home and when you finish working. Thanks for all your other tips I’ve learned through the blog.
