I am feeling like a slug today, things are processing slowly, the cogs just keep sticking, I know there is a lot to be done, but I just can't seem to get in to gear properly.
And I keep feeling that gentle nudge... that nudge that is asking why I haven't sat down and had a proper conversation with Him in a while... why do we let ourselves be controlled by busyness? And THEN to top it all off, I find that I can't sit and have a quiet conversation, I've forgotten how to... I guess that's why I love the Apostle's creed and the Lords prayer, it brings me back in to focus, it helps me find the path. I miss not saying this every week, I miss that reminder of what I really believe without all the extra fluff that clouds things.
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.
AMEN.
The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen
