Lifes Journey In Words

     Angel of God, my guardian dear,

To whom His love commits me here,

     ever this day be at my side

to light and guard, to rule and guide.

                                 -Amen

     I was thinking that it is important for each of us to take just a few minutes or maybe just one, (whatever you can spare) have a small moment of reflectiveness, prayer, or soul search whatever you and your family call it.  Please think of recent disasters, lost individuals,and finally the raveges of war.  Please extend thoughts to tornado victims, flood,tsunami, mine disasters, dust storms,  mudslides, and wild fires, bridge collapse, explosions, extreme cold, avelanches, plane crashes big and small, and those in distant countries all over the world for they deal with dictatorships, genocides, familial loss, poverty and hunger.
