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 includes praying the Daily Office along with The Virtual Abbey, persons who describe themselves as Modern Monastics, who believe that spiritual life transcends boundaries of time and place

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."
