prayer before meditation
Father, you created
me
and put me on
earth
for a purpose.
Jesus you died for
me
and called me
to complete your
work.
Holy Spirit,
you help me
carry
out the work
for
which I was
created
and called.
In your presence
and name, Father,
Son,
and Holy
Spirit,
I begin my
meditation.
May all
my thoughts
and
inspirations
have
their origin in you
and
be directed
to
your greater honor
and glory.

the nail
Jesus said,
"The Son of Man must suffer much
and be rejected by the elders,
the chief priest, and
the teachers of the Law.
He will be put to death,
but three days later
he will rise to life. Mark 8:31
There's an old poem that goes
something like this:
I put a nail in my wallet
for no nobody but me to see--
as a personal reminder
that the Son of God died for me.
Each time I reach in my pocket,
pull out and open my wallet
the nail is there reminding me
of the price Jesus paid for me.
And so the nail in my wallet
reminds me in a loving way
to strive to serve Jesus better
in all I do and all I say.
What did I do for Jesus yesterday?
What might I do for him today?
Today's opportunities erase
yesterday's failures. Gene Brown

the last act
Do you gain anything if you win
the whole world but lose your life?
Mark 8:36
Jon Robin Baitz wrote a three-
act play called "Three Hotels."
The first act, introduces us to a
business executive, Kenneth.
He makes a fortune selling baby
food to African mothers. He is
aware that the food is bad for
babies; but he closes his eyes
to this fact. The second act in-
troduces us to his wife. She is
destroyed by what her husband
is doing The last act is years later.
Kenneth sits alone, destroyed by
the pain he's caused so many
people. He has lost all: his job,
his marriage, his soul!
Is there anything in my life that
threatens the loss of my soul?
Each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass,
A book of rules;
And each must make--
Ere life is flown--
A stumbling block
Or a stepping stone. R. L. Sharpe
