Music can be all things to all persons. It is like a great dynamic sun in the center of a solar system which sends out its rays and inspiration in every direction....Music makes us feel that the heavens open and a divine voice calls. Something in our souls responds and understands. We beseech Thee, O Lord, let our hearts be graciously enlightened by Thy holy radiance, that we may serve Thee without fear in holiness and righteousness all the days of our life; that so we may escape the darkness of this world, and by Thy guidance attain the land of eternal brightness; through Thy mercy, O blessed Lord, Who doest live and govern all things, world without end. Amen. Sharing their boundless wisdom, guardian angels take us under their wings. Selflessly, they help guide us to the places in our lives that bring us joy and peace of mind. Lord, I believe; help my unbelief" is the most natural and most human and most agonizing prayer in the gospels, and I think it is the foundation prayer of faith.++ Today you shouldn't be shy about taking credit for something you did. If you are worried that someone else will get jealous of you, don't. How they react to your adulation is their issue, and it's nothing you should take responsibility for. You should never turn down praise unless it's undeserved -- and the praise you'll get today is decidedly well deserved. If someone has a problem with that, they need to bring it up with the people heaping all the accolades your way -- not with you. You'll have pent-up energy as the work day drags a little slower than usual. This may be an opportune day to tidy up some mundane tasks. You may have some financial issues, so be prudent in your expenditures. In social encounters, it might feel like you are in competition with others for attention. This could leave you feeling depressed.  

What a day this has been. I am still working on the month end reports. Now there are some emails from”Jerry” and what he needs. I am not sure what he is asking me. The power was off two hours and that was the shits. A couple of loads of hay came in from Canada and it was in vans and very hard to unload. I got some gas tonight and watched the VP debates. Not much excitement and it looked like Biden did all right. I thought Palin was a weak shill. I called Mikey at seven forty and it went to voicemail. I guess I will just keep trying and not stress too much one way or the other. It will work itself out one way or another. I got another call from Joel and shut it down since I was listening to TV. I sort of want to wean him off as well.
