   Ah, peace and tranquility....
Psalm 23: 6
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Psalm 25: 1-6
Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed[...]
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

Psalm 27: 1, 4-5
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
[...]
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Sano enters the farm house, going into the living room where Equus and Xihuitl usually host the post.

Sano: Hello? Equus? Xihuitl? (mutters) Oh, I don't want to tell Equus I have a date, but...well, she's gonna find out sooner or later anyway. Refi is a friend of hers, after all. (raises voice) Equus?

A piercing voice shatters the afternoon air.

Equus: Sano! (glomps him from the stairway)

THUMP!

Xihuitl comes in to find Sano stunned, Equus holding him and rocking back and forth.

Equus: Sano, Sano, Sano!

Xihuitl: Hon, you do realize that he's not responding?

Equus: (looks at Sano) Augh! Sano, are you all right?

Xihuitl: (sigh) Come on, let's see if Refi-chan's Hatori is available. And I'm sure he'll be fine. That boy has a head made out of rock, thankfully, given the way you tend to tackle him whenever he's been gone for more than a day....

Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love you. Hugs and pocket hugs! ^_^

Fact of the day: I don't know. Hm....Greenbriar's springtime shoots are edible, but a bit biting. Take care. God bless. Love and hugs.

I hope that prayer will take on a new luster in our lives. None of us knows what lies ahead. We may speculate, but we do not know. Sickness may strike us. Misfortune may overtake us. Fears may afflict us. Death may place his cold and solemn hand upon us or a loved one.
Regardless of what may come, may faith, immovable and constant, shine above us as the polar star.
Now, today, we are faced with particular problems, serious and consuming and difficult and of great concern to us. Surely we have need for the Lord.

This precious and marvelous gift of faith, this gift from God our Eternal Father, is still the strength of this work and the quiet vibrancy of its message. Faith underlies it all.
