If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
Hillel

Psalm 27:28 When my heart whispers; Seek God. My whole being replies, O Yes! I find God in prayer.

Forgive the negative people. They learned too many lies. May you be blessed to learn life's lesson truthfully, positively, and in the most Godly way
possible.

What today, Lord? The dawn is breaking. What would You have me do? We have talked about this many times. I should ask what You would have me do - today?
What is it that we have talked about? That will best use my skills and temperament to do Your work, not mine, here on earth, here in my town. I pray that today I can bring Your word to our world for others. Maybe I should pray that once I have an idea of what I will do today, You will give me the strength to do it. I pray that I have the dedication to stay on the task till it is finished. I pray that I will remember to say a few prayers along the way, reminding me it is Your work that I do.
And let me add my thank you to this prayer, a thank you for creating me to do this work. Kenan Bresnan

New Day It is a new day. The stars have finished shining till tonight, The neighborhood dog is still barking, My wife is still sleeping with a smile on her face, Our six
grandchildren are hopefully letting our children and their spouse’s sleep, A freshness in the air, The glory of creation spreads across the bright blue sky, The passing of a newly washed mini-van, The Joy of a God who let pickup trucks be invented, The look of determination on the faces of the early morning walkers, The dew on the grass, The passing police car with the officer nearing the end of his shift, Fresh donuts at the convenience store, An early morning walk past house and yard after
house and yard, one family then the next. All created by you, all different. All are good. The gentle wind of the spirit, The stranger walking by who could be Jesus or one of his buddies Thank you for what you have created. Thank you for working with us to create other things.

SIX-HOUR SPECIAL DELIVERY

“It was the most perfect tempura broccoli we ever made.”

It flurried all day Sunday in Vermont. Ekiben co-founder Steve Chu watched the flakes with dread. Snow in the fryer would be trouble.

This is the story of how the owners of Baltimore’s most popular fusion restaurant drove to Vermont over the weekend to cook a meal. It’s also a story about food and love and dying. And really, really amazing customer service.

It started out simply enough. Canton residents Brandon Jones and his wife, Rina, needed some carryout.

Not just any carryout. They needed the tempura broccoli from Ekiben, the beloved local fusion spot that started in Fells Point, Maryland.

Not just for any customer. The dish was for Rina’s mom, who lives in Vermont and is dying of lung cancer.

Rina’s mom, who did not want to be named in this story for privacy reasons, had loved the dish since she first came to visit her daughter six years ago in Baltimore.

Although she had traveled and eaten extensively, the crispy tempura broccoli from Ekiben, which she first tried at the Fells Point farmers market, quickly became an obsession; a necessary stop on every trip...READ MORE

PRAYERS FOR MY SON

My son recently committed himself to a rehabilitation facility for alcohol and drug abuse after years of being an alcoholic and recently getting into drugs. His life spiraled down to a point where we his own family didn't know who he was. For the first time he was asking for help after overdosing on drugs. I'm asking to please pray that he will find his sobriety and live life without the alcohol and drugs. For God to heal what is hurting him and keeping him in the darkness and that he may live a life in peace. That he may feel the love that God has for him and the love everyone has for him. I pray that he will stay strong while in rehabilitation and protect him from those snares that want to take the blessings God has for him. I, as his mother, love him so very much and am very thankful to God that my son realized he does need help.
