Night – a final prayer at the closing of day As the skies move from daylight to dark, we come to the time of the day to hear my favorite words from the Book of Common Prayer, from the last prayers of the day – Compline. The prayer that follows  is from the New Zealand ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2012/02/night-a-final-prayer-at-the-closing-of-day/feed/ 0 http://sacredpauses.com/2012/02/for-those-who-help-make-the-world-better-addition-to-the-prayers-of-our-people/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2012/02/for-those-who-help-make-the-world-better-addition-to-the-prayers-of-our-people/#comments Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:18:36 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=1184 For Those Who Help Make the World Better – addition to The Prayers of Our People

For Those Who Help Make the World Better – addition to The Prayers of Our People It’s been a while since I added a new line to The Prayers Of Our People, and today I’m introducing one for those who are called – each in their own way – to make our world better for ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2012/02/for-those-who-help-make-the-world-better-addition-to-the-prayers-of-our-people/feed/ 0 http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/the-new-day/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/the-new-day/#comments Sun, 25 Dec 2011 18:50:30 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=1163 The New Day

The New Day One of the greatest inspirational songs I’ve ever heard was one that WETA-FM in Washington, DC played every morning at 6:00 am for many years. I’m not sure if they still do, but in those early training school days of my retail career, I was up in suit-and-tie and on my way ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2011/12/the-new-day/feed/ 0 http://sacredpauses.com/2011/07/what-is-an-acclamation/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://sacredpauses.com/2011/07/what-is-an-acclamation/#comments Mon, 11 Jul 2011 02:50:13 +0000 Scribe http://sacredpauses.com/?p=779 What is an Acclamation?

A Tribute To An Old Friend This is the story of an old friend who passed from us this week: the morning of New Years Day. I’m not much on writing eulogies until called upon, but in this case, Douglass Hunt and I had “a history,” you might say. 30-some years in the making, and ...]]> http://sacredpauses.com/2011/01/a-tribute-to-an-old-friend/feed/ 0
