10th Sunday after Trinity
LET thy merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of thy humble servants; and, that they may obtain their petitions, make them to ask such things as shall please thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

Happy Birthday Emmy!
Today my baby sister is 17. I can't believe it. I remember when she turned 6 the first year I knew her. She can't be this old!

Wanna hear....
...some arias sung by a sporano with an amazing voice? Check out Anna Netrebko. Or you can listen to her here (warning...17 mintue sound file). Listening to it makes me want to watch one of my favorite movies.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? --Richard

9th Sunday after Trinity
GRANT to us, Lord, we beseech thee, the spirit to think and do always such things as are right; that we, who cannot do any thing that is good without thee, may by thee be enabled to live according to thy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee.
Take my voice, and let me sing,
Always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from thee.
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect, and use
Ev'ry pow'r as thou shalt choose.
Take my will, and make it thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is thine own;
It shall be thy royal throne.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee.

Not again!
It's becoming a habit that everytime I go to the Monkey, somebody I know shows up. Lately it's been the Thompsons (soon-to-be ex-Knox members). Even though it was getting on my nerves @ first because they were here almost everytime I came in, I'm really glad we're getting to spend this time together. They're moving in about a week, and I'll be really sad. Love you guys!

No that is not gibberish. Here's the translation: For those of you that have tried to learn Dvorak, it's a big pain, but really fun.
I just have to keep remembering to switch back to qwerty before trying to chat!
I love me some movies.
After watching some movies with B & A that they had gotten from Netflix, I thought I'd might try it. It seems like a pretty good deal. If you watch at least 3 movies a week (which is only about as fast as I can get 'em, watch 'em, and send 'em back), that 12 movies a month at the low price of $22(ish). Not half bad considering the Blockbuster in town is anywhere from $2-something to almost $4.50 per movie. And they have EVERYTHING. New releases (which you can save movies that are coming out in theater now to get them later), old movies, classics, horror, indie, anything you can imagine.
I currently have 118 movies in my queue. Whenever I'm done with one I send it back and they send me the next one on my list. If i can watch 3 movies a week (as stated above), I can finish that list in 10 months; but that list doesn't include movies I've seen recently and would like to see again (such as K-19 and The Passion), or movies that I saw as a kid and would like to see again for kicks and giggles (i.e., Big Trouble in Little China, Baby Boom, and Curly Sue). I should be getting Miracle today and here's my next ten:
House of Sand and Fog
Night at the Roxbury
Thirteen Days
Far from Heaven
Welcome to Mooseport
Mystic River
In America
Lost in Translation
Catch Me If You Can
Something's Gotta Give
BTW, if you want to try it go to the netflix link above and enter "friend60" where it says to enter code and click 'redeem'. i think you get 2 weeks free.

8th Sunday After Trinity
O GOD, whose never-failing providence ordereth all things both in heaven and earth; We humbly beseech thee to put away from us all hurtful things, and to give us those things which are profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, Whose canopy space,
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old;
Established it fast by a changeless decree,
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
O measureless might! Ineffable love!
While angels delight to worship Thee above,
The humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
With true adoration shall all sing Thy praise.
