Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Don Henley has very complimentary things to say about Dolly Parton in this interview … and less complimentary about “dude country” … and describes his cover of a Tift Merritt song

thx for the link, Patience
yeah, that’s the Tift Merritt song … he described how he ran his treatment by her as a courtesy, because having 3 singers on it gives a different slant on it
LOL Thank God that I thought it through. I once stood on the Golden Gate Bridge, just so. I thought that I should wait for a Friday Night of the Full Moon.

Prayer of Daily Thanks
Heavenly Father, as the sun sets, I want to pause and say thank You. For the little things like a warm cup of tea to the big things like my family’s laughter, I’m grateful. Each moment of this day has been a gift, and I thank You for the blessings, both seen and unseen. Let my sleep be a thank you, my dreams be praise, and my night whispers echo with gratitude. Amen.
A Prayer for the Gifts of Life
Dear Lord, under the evening sky, I come before You filled with appreciation. For the breath in my lungs, the food on my table, and the love in my home, I am truly thankful. Help me to always notice the countless gifts You provide and to never take them for granted. I rest in Your care, grateful for today and hopeful for tomorrow. Amen.
Thanksgiving for Enduring Love
Gracious God, as I lay down tonight, I reflect on Your unending love and care. Thank you for guiding me through this day, for the smiles shared, and for the kindness I received.

Great Vespers | 26 Jul 2025
St. Mary Orthodox Church, Wichita Kansas
Was off-line for a few days and got back on this past mid-week.
Been looking the last couple days for weather updates by RAH and found none. Is he OK? I count on him.
Longtime lurker.
Hi Butch…
I checked our comment history, and the last time RAH commented was on 7/17. He did say he’d be taking a break….

Ad rem, you are always so helpful 🙂
Ad rem —
Once I saw your linked comment, I realized that I had seen but not remembered RAH’s statement.
Many thanks for the time you took to track it down, and I am glad that RAH is on a planned absence.
Sundance has an excellent team; as a ‘cat guy’ I appreciate your often-pointed humorous responses.
Butch
