St. Patrick’s Breastplate

Psalms 139:7-10 (NASB)
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
9If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
10Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.

After reflecting on those verses, I came across a fourth-century prayer that is just beautiful.

Christ be beside me, Christ be before me,
Christ be behind me, King of my heart;
Christ be within me, Christ be below me,
Christ be above me, never to part.

Christ on my right hand, Christ on my left hand,
Christ all around me, shield in the strife;
Christ in my sleeping, Christ in my sitting,
Christ in my rising, light of my life.

Christ be beside me, Christ be before me,
Christ be behind me, King of my heart;
Christ be within me, Christ be below me,
Christ be above me, never to part.

Just thought I would share.

Sorry for being MIA

Monday, November 19th, 2007

I apologize for being MIA. I was (am) dealing with migraines. I will try to be around more often. I just have not felt like thinking much lately.

However, I am all about honesty, so I will tell you that I am fighting computer addiction again. I do not plan on going MIA from blogging and the two communities in which I am active, but I do need to fight this. You see I love to play games. Video games are a real weakness for me. Please pray for my deliverance from this addiction. It is an on going battle. I do not want to take them off this computer, as I am not the only one that plays them, but I may have to.
