Trying to keep calm and carry on! Busy Bee time!

Dear Family of Love and on our Journey!

Today has been one of those wacky days! It's too cold to walk  and I have lots to do before I take off for Diocesan Convention in Ontario California. I go down tomorrow and will be back home on Saturday! I hope to get a walk in when I get home. On Saturday night I will fine tune my sermon for Sunday and will have the privilege of preaching at both the services and then I get to toodle down the highway again to Los Angeles and stay at the Bonaventure for my birthday and then have a meeting on Monday with the Diocesan Daughters of the King Board. Makes me want to live in LA! What is crazy is that I actually am loving this! I know I talk a lot about being human doings but here is the kicker, if you are finding and drawing energy from this then I guess it's ok. I definitely am drawing energy from this. I feel God's love, joy, and spirit enlivening me at every turn. So much so, that I can't complain only give thanks! Love is the key!

So here are a few prayers to keep us calm as we carry on!
