Good day Father

Father as I read your word in baffles yet amazes me how you could be so merciful. Father so many of us in the world...all of us in the world are so imperfect relative to you. We all sin, we all fall short of the grace of God. Father only your Son lived up to the perfection. Yet you in all your wonder allow us to live on. Not without consequence of course but we live on in your prescence. Wow, is all I can say. How do you do it?

I have read that it is this way so that we all rely on you. There is no perfect human otherwise there would be no need for God. What would you say to that?

Father, today is a travel day for both my wife and I, She to Portland and I to Seattle. Father I pray for a hedge of protection over both and pray that Justice would travel well. Touch his little nose and make him well enough for flight.

Father tomorrow is the day we have budgets. Father I keep telling myself that 100 years from now no one will care about what happens tomorrow. However, in the short many months and for the years to come people will care and people will judge my ability to run a business based on the performance. Father I thank you for the conversation I had yesterday and I pray that I carry an even more amplified confidence into the budget conversation. The only way that will happen is with you Father. You are the one that can and will make that happen. Father I thank you for the Joshua like courage you will give me tomorrow and I thank you for the bounless energy you will give that will allow me to sustain the day. Father I thank you for the wisdom and discernment you will give. Father I thank you for the passion and the ability to hold a debate professionally yet forcefully. Father thank you for placing a sense of piece among those who supervise me in my earthly stead. Father I know that you are the contorller of those who control. You are the ultimate.

Father I pray for my relationship with Stephanie. Father you have sparked an awareness of need and desire in both our hearts. Father I pray that you will fan the flame and that our relationship will become and inferno set to serve you in any and all ways. Father you have a plan for her and I and Father I pray for exposure of that plan. Father touch Michael and Justice and the unborn child you have so graciously given us.

Have a great day and thank you for allowing me to "Live out Loud"...Amen
