  1. Would you please pass this email on to Cece. I just wanted her to know that I really enjoyed her sermon this past Sunday. It was very thoughtful and relatable.

    Also, it made me think of the following, very old prayer.

    Lead, Kindly Light

    Lead, kindly light,
    amid the encircling gloom;
    Lead thou me on!

    The night is dark, and
    I am far from home;
    Lead, thou me on!

    Keep thou my feet;
    I do not ask to see
    the distant scene–
    one step’s enough for me.
    I was not ever thus,
    nor pray’d that thou
    shouldst lead me on.

    I loved to choose and
    see my path; but now,
    lead thou me on!

    I loved the garish day,
    and, spite of fears,
    pride ruled my will.

    Remember not past years.
    So long thy pow’r hath blessed me, sure it still will
    lead me on.

    O’er moor and fen,
    o’er crag and torrent,
    till the night is gone.

    And with the morn those
    angel faces smile,
    which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!

    John Henry Newman
    1801-1890
