It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

What, For Whom, and Why, a Reflection on 1 Timothy 2:1-7

Pray.
For everyone. Yes, everyone. Even political leaders.
Pray for everyone so that everyone will have a peaceful, dignified life.

Ways we can do it now include using twitter to pray the Daily Office along with @Virtual_Abbey
They described themselves as a monastery for the 21st century that believes spiritual life transcends boundaries of time and place. Here, we offer insights and resources for living as a modern monastic in the Benedictine tradition. They are also on Facebook or you may sign up for e-mails.

Also on twitter, but with a humorous bent is @UnvirtuousAbbey. An example of their prayers is "We pray for people who want to date your avatar. Lord, have mercy," and "We pray for people who physically contort themselves just so that they can find the best angle to take their own FB profile picture. Amen."

The United Methodist Campus Ministry has asked for us to join in prayer for college students this fall. See their facebook page for how you can join this effort. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=109497049102323
