So, last night, I literally climbed into bed, turned off the light, started to fall asleep, and then thought, "Oh darn! I forgot to post on Josh's blog!" I thought briefly about getting out of bed and booting up my laptop, and then was like, "I'm too tired, I'll just pray for him." I started to pray a Hail Mary for you. Unfortunately, I can't remember whether or not I finished it...

No, those have nothing to do with it! Only about, ummm, welll...ok, I know I have at least 1 pill bottle somewhere that doesn't say, "causes drowsiness/dizziness," ... maybe?

Anyway, the same thing almost happened tonight, but I remembered just in the nick of time, so here I am. I woke up both the cats sleeping on the couch, and my cat attacked my computer (he's real smart, he is...), but that has nothing to do with anything and I'm waaaay off topic now...

So, anyway, I'm praying for you, both yesterday and today and, well, pretty much every day.

That's right, little old whiskery cat, every day

I'm obviously too punch drunk to continue (and I haven't even drunk any punch!), so I will save you from the madness and call it a night.

...

Why are you still staring at the screen? Oh, you still want an actual prayer, and not just pictures of cats? Gosh, Josh, you seminarians are so hard to please!

Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me(/Josh) an instrument of Your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me(/him) sow love;

where there is injury,pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I(/he) may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen

I know you've seen this a million billion times, but one of my friends from camp has it tattooed on his stomach, so it was the first prayer that came to mind. (That sounded weird - just ignore it; I need sleeeeeep).

No, not y'all! I need SLEEP!

Anyway, I'm praying for you! Goodnight! 

:)
