Be very kind, and give the girl her way once in a while, Josh! She has earned it for good behavior!

This is an ode to Melanie! She is truly amazing! She is such an independent thinker! I marvel at the differences between my two daughters, and yet the are both so rich in talent and character. TREE should begin filming this week, the 15th of September if I remember correctly. We will be looking to see the lovely child they chose over Melanie! God knows best!

Didn't the MTV Music Videos Awards "get a grip"?LOL

Teach Me to Pray


My Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of Thee.
Thou and Thou alone knowest my needs.
Thou lovest me more than I am able to love Thee.
O Father, grant unto me, Thy servant, all which I cannot ask.
For a cross I dare not ask, nor for consolation;
I dare only to stand in Thy presence.
My heart is open to Thee.
Thou seest my needs of which I myself am unaware.
Behold and lift me up!
In Thy presence I stand,
awed and silenced by Thy will and Thy judgments,
into which my mind cannot penetrate.
To Thee I offer myself as a sacrifice.
No other desire is mine but to fulfill Thy will.
Teach me how to pray.
Do Thyself pray within me.
Amen.


- St. Philaret of Moscow
