I did pretty well on my prayers this weekend - Friday was a good day, I added one extra office. Saturday I prayed a couple of times and Sunday I did the morning office only.
I started the day today with the BCP morning office. The OT reading from Samuel was the story of the god Dagon falling on his face in front of the Ark of God. I love that story. It reminds me of the ways in which i worship things which are ultimately powerless.
Hi friends- though I have not been posting, I have actually been praying although not as regularly as I used to. I had been listening to some good teaching through Pentecost, (online) But I am missing a church community. It is so interesting to hang around people who, with few exceptions, are not people who go to church or (more importantly) look at life through the lens of faith at all, that I know of.
Still plodding along, not feeling like an image bearer! I am praying that God will give me an imagination for ….well, something…….
We miss you Mandy! Keep up the prayers, though syncing up will be tough! I'm reasserting the discipline of the hours this month. It's making a huge difference.
I hope there is a community of faith for the Hill family on the horizonto help nurture & protect you all over coming year!
...almost forgot, I did all 3 hours so far today. Hoping to do compline.
I did 3/4 offices yesterday. I keep blowing off Compline. Today started with the BCP morning office. Luke 22 confused me but other than that it was good.
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 did the BCP hours this morning. Yesterday I got 3 out of 4...compline is proving difficult for some reason, but I'll get it.
I'm loving the office right now, it seems to be breathing life into my day as I structure it around prayer.
