Simple Prayer: Patience

Dear God,
I wonder if the saints of old would have had as much patience as they possessed if they had to deal daily with such things as freeway on-ramps at five o’clock in the afternoon and ballpoint pens that won’t write when we want to use them. It is so very difficult to remain patient in such an imperfect world.

If babies never cried in the middle of an important event and if the same people didn’t seem to need our help with the same problems over and over again, I think patience would be a virtue at which more of us would excel. My world must really be imperfect. There are a lot of imperfect people who really know how to push my buttons. I suppose my own lack of perfection disturbs their imperfect world as well.

Is it possible that someone else is praying right now and asking for your help in having more patience with me?

Please help me to be more patient with others so others won’t have to pray so much and so often to have more patience with me.

Wastefully

April 9, 2026

  Episcopal Bishop John Shelby Spong would answer the question “how shall we express love?” with a single word: “Wastefully.”    ✧✧✧   We don’t express love wastefully.

“I love you” x 3

April 1, 2026

For reasons a team of psychoanalysts might have been able to crack, my dad couldn’t get the three-word phrase “I love you” to come out of his mouth. I knew he loved us. It’s just he couldn’t say it. I rationalized that I didn’t need to hear those three words, but it hurt anyway. This is the story about how
