From an unknown source came this prayer: Slow me down, Lord! Ease my pounding heart by quieting my mind. Give to me amidst the confusion of my day, the calmness of the everlasting hills.

Remind me each day of the fable of the hare and the tortoise. That I may know that the race is not always swift, that there is more to life than measuring its speed. And so it is! ~Sherry Petro-Surdel
