Seersucker and a Collar: And so it begins ...

A very cool, newly ordained Episcopal clergy person has a new blog. I am fairly confident that it will be more than a little awesome.

And so it begins ...

A Prayer Attributed to Francis Drake

Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves, when our dreams have come true because we have dreamed too little, when we arrive safely because we have sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when with the abundance of things we possess, we have lost our thirst for the waters of life; having fallen in love with life, we have ceased to dream of eternity; and in our efforts to build a new earth, we have allowed our vision of the new Heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly, to venture on wider seas where storms will show your mastery; where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars. We ask you to push back the horizons of our hopes; and to push into the future in strength, courage, hope, and love.

This we ask in the name of our sure captain, Jesus the Christ. AMEN.
