humdrum

God, I offer myself to Thee to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self that I may better do Thy Will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy Will always.

Oh, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would always be with me, and that You would keep me from evil.

Thank You for keeping me sober today. Amen.

In the works of man, everything is as poor as its author; vision is confined, means are limited, scope is restricted, movements are labored, and results are humdrum. -- Joseph De Maistre, Considerations on France

Scandal is merely the compassionate allowance which the gay make to the humdrum. Think how many blameless lives are brightened by the blazing indiscretions of other people. -- Hector Hugh Munro Saki, Reginald

The amelioration of the world cannot be achieved by sacrifices in moments of crisis; it depends on the efforts made and constantly repeated during the humdrum, uninspiring periods, which separate one crisis from another, and of which normal lives mainly consist. -- Aldous Huxley, Grey Eminence

Not to much to report on yesterday. I dug into some more journal entry detail at work. I found out that my mortgage broker Bill faxed the pre-qualification letter to my Realtor David. I came home and made some Beef Stroganoff and counted money for Lambda. I watched Judging Amy and was struck by the words "garden of the soul." I like that and wanted to write it down.

I was very tired later but had a difficult time falling to sleep. I didn't hear from Joe until this morning, but it sounds like he slept better. That's about it.
