Faith is not certainty so much as it is acting-as-if in great hope.
Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a rector for St. John's Parish, that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Amen.

Mimi, it would be good if Obama sent you a birthday card when you hit 90. It would mean he was still president, quite apart from anything else.
ReplyDeleteI hope Betty had a fab birthday. A woman of 90 deserves a good birthday.
Obama can serve only one more term, so the chances are slim, unless I make a great leap forward in the next 4 years. ;-)
ReplyDeleteA mere 40 years and a day older than Yours Truly. ;-)
ReplyDelete[Hope I age as well the next 40 as Betty has!]
A Blessed and Happy Birthday, JCF!
ReplyDeleteSo you're no longer in your 40s, then. Did you know that you never had to be in your 40s? You could have stayed 39 forever? Jack Benny did.
That was a great clip. Betty White is an example to us all.
ReplyDeleteBetty is, Amelia. And she demonstrates that a little naughtiness leads to a long life.
ReplyDeleteWhat would life be without a little naughtiness? Not one I would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThat line from the SNL she hosted ("My muffin hasn't had a cherry since 1939!") is a CLASSIC! *LOL*
ReplyDeleteAmelia, indeed!
ReplyDeleteNaughty, naughty Betty. Ditto JCF.
