Prayer and Sacraments

So i'm reading about the Middle East about every day still, and its not getting any better. That's so frustrating. really it is. Even though I cant do a darn thing about it it makes me so upset. I pray, and i know thats all i can do, but its just so stupid. This whole thing- and this buisness about Israel hitting a UN peacekeeping force with a 'precision guided missle' that missed its target. there's a reason theyre called PRECISION guided missles; because theyre not supposed to miss. A good friend of mine commented that it was reminscent of the USS Liberty in Havannah harbour. It is. We're settin' 'em up to be knocked down again. It hurts to watch all these Lebaneese and Israeli Civilians (and even military) loose their lives in this conflict though. Especially when it seemed like peace was so close. SO close. Please continue to be in prayer for the world. Our world needs it so very badly.
On ANOTHER note, i have found a church i think i like finally. It's episcopalian, and probably nobody reading this blog would like it becuase its really highly ritualized. There's a book with the liturgy even. Kind of like catholocism... only started by Henry VIII. haha. It's so comforting though, its interactive too, in the sense that for many of the prayers the whole congregation speaks them together, and even when you arent talking, you can read along. I am going to communion tomorrow afternoon before work. I am excited about that. Being in a spiritually dry place can be compounded by a sense of lonliness from other people. It's amazing how the Blessed Sacrament, while not solving these problems in a fast and quick fix fashion, reminds one to hope for the time in which they will be healed. And faith restored, and friendships revived. It'll be a good day.


so drive me out,
out to that open field-
turn the ignition off, and spin around.
You're help is here
but i'm parked in this open space,
blocking the gates of love

and i am overcome.
-overcome ; live
