I almost feel bad posting this, because it seems that over the past few weeks the Monday and Friday posts are making up half the blog (or more). I remember a time when one dropped off before the other rolled around. Alas, this is what it means to have a newborn in your life.

LORD,
In the hurry of everyday life, and
          of service for men,
We would snatch, again and again,
A hundred times in a day,
The brief and golden leisure
To glance thus up to Thy face,
To catch once more the sound of Thy
      voice,
To feel anew the touch of thy hand,
To know again that we live in Thee
     â€” Amen.
