OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: We Don’t Have to Share One Bathroom Now

O Lord, You know that when we were kids, I didn’t always thank you for my siblings. I’m sure they didn’t thank You for me, either! But OMG, what a rare blessing to get together now!

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: Crazy Love

O Lord, You recall that when we got married, Steve was a freshman medical student. I didn’t have a job. We hadn’t seen each other in five months. Father, You could have had us committed. (Our parents thought about it.)

Instead, OMG, You have walked with us, every step, for 48 years. Thank You that our crazy love grows crazier — and better — every year.     

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: Maybe They’re Not Flattered

OMG, It’s Monday! Prayer: Do I Want August to Go Away?

But OMG, when crazy August’s heat wears on me, please remind me that ice cream and other summer delights don’t.
