Good night dear friends, Lorna Kelly was the first woman auctioneer at Sotheby’s. Her real fame came when she got a big part playing herself in a Sex in the City episode. That was the moment she decided the light of New York City wasn’t for her. So she gave all the brilliance up to go to Calcutta to work for another Theresa. They did become fast friends after a rocky start. But what we should discuss now is this. She went to Morocco first... and found herself In The desert with a guide who left her sitting there atop a camel. She shouted at him to come back. He shouted back, the camel knows the way. She was aghast, this woman used to bossing taxi drivers around day in and out. Now she had to trust the camel and God. We are all in kind of in a camel situation now. Remember God knows the way. This man in the desert was probably what Mother Teresa called, Jesus in disguise. See more

Good morning! Something little and beautiful we noticed last spring ...Barn Swallows are not the brightest birds, God Bless them! The young tend to fall out of their nests. But we noticed the church chicks don’t This may not be scientific but many of us pick up these chicks around the community and plop them back in their nests fairly often. So how to account for this seeming anomaly ? Prayer, peace, music and of course , sermons! Praise is the unscientific answer keepin...g our church chicks safely and peacefully in their nests. It works for us too. Like birds we build the nest of our heart with Gods love twig by twig. Wigs of peace, prayer and praise. Our Nation is a nest as well. We are all builders and healers. Hymn: Be still, my soul Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to thy God to order and provide; In every change He faithful will remain. Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake To guide the future as He has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake; #missionstclare Morning Prayer See more

Good night dear friends, Dedicate tonight to your heart...and not the TVfor at least the span of a commercial break! We’ll take it! Take the road less traveled tonight...This Prayer should help keep you steady and steadfast in Gods loving arms instead of the Tv’s! Change the pronouns to I, my and me and pray it with huge love because God knows you, who aren’t even running for anything can make the world better by just sticking with Him! A Prayer of Self-Dedication Almighty ...and eternal God, so draw our hearts to you, so guide our minds, so fill our imaginations, so control our wills, that we may be wholly yours, utterly dedicated unto you; and then use us, we pray you, as you will, and always to your glory and the welfare of your people; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. #Missionstclare Evening Prayer See more

Good Morning dear friends! Our new best Old Testament friend, Sirach is back! And boy do we ever need him today. Sirach 43; 5 In his majesty he gives the clouds their strength, and the hailstones are broken in pieces. Things are weighing heavy but you are a cloud my friend! Like the cloud breaks flying icebergs into little hail stones, do the same today. Fly the high road; kindle kindness, listen with love, speak wisdom, love thy neighbor whoever they vote for.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Good night, dearest. Love, Jesus

Amen! Let us pray for peace and a clear way forward for all Americans...
