8 February 2010

Contined house cleaning and finished up with the vacuuming. Am eager to taste the Dunkelweizen, but since Wednesdays and Fridays are my "Orthodox" fast days," I'll wait until tomorrow to take the first sipping. Instead of what I hope will be a glass of good beer, I'm pouring into myself all of Frederica Matthewes-Green's The Jesus Prayer: The Ancient Desert Prayer that Tunes the Heart to God. Better than any beer I or anyone can brew.

Morning and Evening Prayer during this Epiphanytide are lovely respites. We learn a new hymn, practice it before prayers, and then sing it at least two times in a row so that the words and melody come together. So grateful for the little electronic keyboard that Abigail gave us.
