July 8th: The Stomach for the Mantle

7/8/11
The goulash Mrs. Farnik prepared was excellent, and the sour cherry cobbler was a bite of fruited labor. Thank You for the bright and gloomy sunrise; quite the contrast of the first brilliant promising sunrise, and thank You for holding off the rains until we were packing the van. Thank You for seeing us all safely to this hotel, and thank You for preserving the Farnik vehicles thus far. Thank You Jared rejoined us safely (give him more careful judgment!), thank You my luggage was safeguarded, and thank You for the opportunity to serve. Thank You for the food, and as with all other things, give me the will, courage, and strength to stomach the great mantle You charge me with. Make me a faithful steward and servant, for You alone are the Good Master.
