From Deacon Ron Reno:
Fall is finally here in Nebraska. I love this time of year, for the cooler weather, the changes of color of the season and a great time to be outside. Please get outside as much as you can and embrace the beauty that God has given us. Stand under one of our golden trees; see the light filter itself through the leaves and take time to thank God for His beauty. In class we discussed looking for the Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas looking to the southwest after dusk, the beauty of Fall and discussed the Aurora that was visible in Nebraska last week. One of the main purposes of these discussions is to get these students to look up and see the beauty that surrounds them. It is important for all of us to take time to see God’s beauty and get away from the digital world that tries to impose itself upon us.
O ALMIGHTY and merciful God, of thy bountiful goodness keep us, we beseech thee, from all things that may hurt us; that we, being ready both in body and soul, may cheerfully accomplish those things which thou commandest; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
During Morning Prayer, our choir sang a beautiful anthem “Like as the Hart ” by Vincent Novello (early 1800’s). Our choir is always doing God’s work. We are so blessed to have Lynda, Julia and Nick. Blessings, Deacon
