Celebration Time

Last night, Jonathan finished his setting of the Song of Songs.  It was four years ago that he wrote down the first pitches for this work.  He had been thinking about it, however, for decades.

Way to go, Jonathan!

January 20

A Prayer for the Nation
on Inauguration Day USA
Almighty God, you have given us this good land as our heritage. Make us always remember your generosity and constantly do your will. Bless our land with honesty in the workplace, truth in education, and honor in daily life. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance; and from every evil course of action. When times are prosperous, let our hearts be thankful; and, in troubled times, do not let our trust in you fail. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
