New Year's resoulutions


January 19, 2010

No new years resolutions were made, but nineteen days later I have decided to make blogging my first resolutions. The second is to be more faithful in observance of my daily prayer life. In other words, to take a few extra minutes each morning and pray and reflect upon what it is I should be doing on this day. And possibly a comment or two on my thoughts. We will see how well I carry that out.I will start that by a prayer that I found online.

"Look over me Lord. Make me deserving of the faith that I need to get near you. Forgive my shortage and light my way to the right path. Endow me with the gift of humility and courage to confront the temptations of this world. Please father never live my side and give me a shield to protect against envy from others and my own self pity.
Amen "

As a writer, I am conscious of words. In fact I love them. I was amazed though to learn that others, even those who pray, are as lacking in their skills as I am. Some prayerful soul uploaded that prayer to Catholic. org without spell checking. I am often guilty of that. The two words above I edited were humility and temptation. I also added a comma, or thought to, after "please father". I then decided to leave well enough alone. Thanks to whomever.
