About Me

My photo
I am a junior at Creighton University in Omaha, NE. I really like it there. The campus is small and it feels like we are all just one big family. I am a theology/secondary education major and I am discerning a career in youth ministry.

Deuxieme Jour

So, today is the second day of my morning prayer. I spent the night in Mary's dorm, so I woke up and we went on to lunch. I remembered after I got back into Yukon and prayed it. There is an interesting thing to note. Mary and I sat down to lunch and we both said a blessing before eating. I guess I don't think about it too often, but Mary noted that is was nice to have someone else pray with her. My sophomore year of high school, my friends and I decided for Lent that we would pray before lunch. We reminded each other and it just became habit. I guess I don't realize the little prayers I say throughout the day. I think that others should bring back the prayer before meals. People turn to God with thanks when we get the promotion, when a friend of theirs is well after a scary illness, but we forget to thank God for the simple things, like food, shelter, or life. I am glad that my friends and I made the effort two years ago, and I am glad that it became a habit.
