Oh the irony

Apparently our church is suffering the same problem as The Big Church (PCUSA) in having to make brutal budget cuts. Today's Hump Day Prayer is as follows:

Almighty God,
your Son Jesus Christ dignified our labor
by sharing our toil.
Be with your people where they work;
make those who carry on the industries and commerce of this land
responsive to your will;
and to all of us,
give pride in what we do
and a just return for our labor;
through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

[my emphasis]

Amen to that indeed. Sometimes it just takes a whack upside my head to know that my invisible best friend really is paying attention.
