Just got back from a too-short trip to Cincinatti. Drove there yesterday and back today. My friend LBB had her baby sometime in the last two weeks, and the baptism was this morning. In an Episcopal Reformed Church. I had forgotten how much I like the Book of Common Prayer. And I so knew the 'Gloria in Excelsis' when we sang it at the end of the service. The timing was a little different than I remember from my Lutheran childhood, but the glory to God is the same.
Spent time with AD too--out having beer and burgers. Then we went to hold the baby and relate to the parents. They were so tired--poor mama and papa. But happy to see us.
This is a quick update on a topic that deserves an entry all its own (but I'm so tired that this is all I can manage tonight)--the man who said he would never court is courting. Well, maybe I can talk her into splitting the difference--I'll call it dating and she'll call it courting. One of my friends told her, "We're just glad someone likes Mike." Right. Uh huh. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
But maybe now we can get these soul-baring late-night phone calls under control.
I've been asking her for pictures so she sent me her old driver's license!

Father, in the name of Jesus, I believe that You are providing a suitable helpmate for Jeep- Father, according to Your Word, one who will adapt herself to Jeep, respect, honor, prefer, and esteem him, stand firmly by his side, united in spirit and purpose, having the same love and being in full accord and of one harmonious mind and intention.
Father, you say in Your Word that a wise, understanding, and prudent wife is from You, and he who finds a true wife finds a good thing and obtains favor of You.
Father, I know that Jeep has found favor in Your sight, and I praise You and thank You for Your Word, knowing that You watch over it to perform it. Amen.
Eph 5:22,33, Phil 2.2. Prov 18.22 Jerem 1.12, Prov 19.14.
You can put "me" or just print it out and pray it for jeep. This prayer is from Germain Copeland's "Prayers that avail much" the little red stripy thing was bookmarked on this page when I got it out of the box from the mail box. :-)
Pray it for Jeep, pray it for you, or pray it for another close friend.
Posted by: friendofjeep at September 8, 2003 07:34 PMMake it your guiding principle to do your best for others and to be trustworthy in what you say. Do not accept as friend anyone who is not as good as you. When you make a mistake do not be afraid of mending your ways.
