The Serenity Prayer

This prayer, often repeated, is an originally untitled prayer by theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. It makes great sense to me, and whether you believe in God or not, I think it's a smart idea.

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference

Job

Never give up; you never know until you try.

I hope everyone is having a better year than mine.  I emailed a friend earlier today that faith and fear are warring inside me; I feel like that much put-upon Bible figure, Job.  No, I haven't lost everything, thank God, but several major calamities have struck since last week, and I've felt completely overloaded.  The least of the issues is that my computer croaked.  I'm typing this at my parents' house. 

Thanks so much to everyone who has read my posts, indulging me in my flights of fancy, my delusions of being in possession of something that may be of use to someone.  I hope someone besides me has gotten something from my blogging experience.

I may not post for a couple weeks, but God willing, I will be back.

Until then, be blessed, dear readers.
