I Arise Today...

I bind to myself today
God's Power to guide me,
God's Might to uphold me,
God's Wisdom to teach me,
God's Eye to watch over me,
God's Ear to hear me,
God's Word to give me speech,
God's Hand to guide me,
God's Way to lie before me,
God's Shield to shelter me,
God's Host to secure me...

I like working the double shifts. No time for drama, irrelevant matters or inefficiencies built into the schedules. Just get up, get out, and run it, the way God intended.

Happy Hump Day!

Christ, protect me today
against every poison, against burning,
against drowning, against death-wound,
that I may receive abundant reward.
Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in the fort, Christ in the chariot seat...
