- Holy Father, bless us with a serene Sunday, day of rest and worship. Give us enough focus to anticipate the joyous events of the week as well as the complicated ones. Keep us prepaired for we only want our surprises to be great.*
AGENDA
Today we celebrate Barlaam and Josaphat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlaam_and_Josaphat
King Abenner in India persecuted the Christian Church in his realm, founded by the Apostle Thomas. When astrologers predicted that his own son would some day become a Christian, Abenner had the young prince Josaphat isolated from external contact. Despite the imprisonment, Josaphat met the hermit Saint Barlaam and converted to Christianity. Josaphat kept his faith even in the face of his father's anger and persuasion. Eventually Abenner converted, turned over his throne to Josaphat, and retired to the desert to become a hermit. Josaphat himself later abdicated and went into seclusion with his old teacher Barlaam.

See you tomorrow, Frens!🤓
By me or about me??
By you, but I am sure anything about you would be a good read as well.🤓💐
I keep praying that I have the time to finish book 2 of my series Estelle; but with the kids and her working late, by the time I get home I haven't the time. So my writing sticks mainly to this site. One day I may be able to finish them and publish them for the world to read. You will be the first to know when that happens. Amen.
You guys have a beautiful friendship.
For some reasons I rarely see the Hold the Line posts (it's really strange, honestly) despite frequent check ins. Always a pleasure.
Jumping Josaphat! 😃
God Bless 🙏
I have a brother his age and we just hit it off considering he lives in Switzerland and I live in Kentucky. I can't remember how we became best friends; I only know we did. I suppose God formed our friendship for us. Amen
