Inspired Insomnia

I am at the Invite-Welcome-Connect Summit at Camp Allen, sponsored by the Diocese of Texas.  I have learned much, heard powerful testimony (yes we Episcopalians do know how to witness), and I have had  the opportunity to be in relationship with people from literally all over the world.  Some I may never see again but the Spirit has been so present in every moment.  I mentioned to someone today that I don’t blog on a schedule – only when I am inspired.  I am kept awake tonight by the Lord’s prayer, prayed in these words: 

Our Father who is in heaven,

Your name is hallowed.

Bring your kingdom

and Your will be done

on earth as it is already

being done in Heaven.

Give us enough to eat today.

Forgive us when we sin and

help us to forgive others whose

sin hurts us.

Guide us away from temptation
and rescue us from the evil one.

The kingdom and the glory and

the power belong to You

yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Amen.
