I just finished the BCP morning office. It was a great time of prayer for me. I'm really glad to be back to this practice.
Also, we did the Advent candle at dinner last night as a family & it was so cool. I can't wait to see what God will do through that practice over the next month.
Hi friends, I have been praying the hours sporadically. The weeks are flying by, and I am having a terrible time quieting myself and focusing on the prayers. There are some times I have decided not to bother because I know it is going to be a struggle. I will literally be reciting/reading the prayers and thinking about something completely different and unimportant like what meat should I get out of the freezer for dinner. I feel like that practice is on the verge of collapse for me!
i haven't been blogging everyday but I have been reading the hours when I can, that sounds really awful...I really try to read the night offices if nothing else.
I confess that it has been far too long since I confessed on Fridays, which means I could either try to catch up or just start in with this week…think I’ll just start in with this week.
I confess to being bored with television right now. There is pretty much nothing I enjoy watching other than The Office and 30 Rock. It’s gotten so bad that I’ve actually started to watch the Family Guy again – that means I’m hard up for entertainment.
I confess that school ends at midnight on Monday night and I can’t spare a minute until then. I confess that this means I’m less than thrilled that we’ll have company this weekend. I confess to being fairly anxious about whether I can get it all done…a sermon for Redemption – gonna be a short one at least, a sermon for class - to be preached on Monday in class, A book review on a book I have not yet read, a Final for Preaching Class and a Final for Ecclesiology. All of it is due on Monday. Yikes.
I confess that I started running again this week after about a 6 week hiatus. I’ve run 4 miles twice and I’m so sore it’s unbelievable. Still it’s been really good for my attitude to be running again.
I confess to total optimism and hope concerning our church. I confess that this is kind of a surprise to me. I just believe that God is doing some amazing things in our midst and that it’s going to be an incredible time to be a part of Redemption Church. I can’t even really tell you any one thing that has me feeling this way, because from a certain point of view it’s pretty bleak. But I just have a feeling.
I confess that my feelings are not always reliable.
I confess to having a short fuse & to excusing it for various reasons that are all lame. I keep telling myself I’ll knock it off come Monday…we’ll see.
I haven't confessed in I can't even remember the last time....so here we go
I confess that I expect alot from Skylee and it's probably too much for a 6 year old. I need to get over that.
I confess that I am really freaked out about how I am going to manage 3 kids but I don't want to tell anyone.
I confess that I am really worried that Ken won't have a job for much longer because his job is tied to the auto industry.
I confess that I am not trusting in God completely for the above confession.
I confess that I have threatened public school to Skylee more then once this week to get her to engage in school-not one or two of my prouder "mom" moments.
each week we will have a new post through which to interact. you can post comments as often as you want under each week in order to share what you are reading, disciplines you are engaging in, or encouragement to each other.

I just did the morning prayers from the book of common prayer. It was a good morning. I'm loving the lectionary readings for advent.
