Prayer for Bread

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, king of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth. We thank you for this Table Fellowship, its unity and intimacy; it is because of this feast that man is able to come from the east and west, the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. Lord, we will celebrate the death of your Son and his resurrection until he returns again. Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

The Hoosier Alleyway

gray sky and muddy snow and scuffed shoes
Yellow Balloon still caught in the branches
of the neighbors tree

going to work really is not
that bad, praise the Lord,
after all
