OK, prayers and pancakes at my house again on Sunday. North from St. Cloud, Mn to Motley then cross the Crow Wing River and take 64 to Akeley then to 71 to Bemidji. Don't turn on to the four lane, just go straight into town, take a left at the lights, next lights turn right. Go to the four-way stop and turn left. Turn left on Mill St up to Augusta Dr. It's about two blocks on the left. See you about eleven am. Here's the first prayer. Bring some of your own.

Intone, O My servants, the verses of God that have been received by thee, as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him, that the sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul, and attract the hearts of all men. Whoso reciteth, in the privacy of his chamber, the verses revealed by God, the scattering angels of the Almighty shall scatter abroad the fragrance of the words uttered by his mouth, and shall cause the heart of every righteous man to throb. Though he may, at first, remain unaware of its effect, yet the virtue of the grace vouchsafed unto him must needs sooner or later exercise its influence upon his soul. Thus have the mysteries of the Revelation of God been decreed by virtue of the Will of Him Who is the Source of power and wisdom.

Sorry, that is next door. The college students. The poor students, someone's daddy bought them a house to live in while they study so hard. They all drive nicer cars than I do. Life is strange.

Sure, no dietary restictions in the Baha'i Faith.

If you'll fix some liver and onions, I'll be there.

Man, liver and onions. If you bring fresh liver, I'll cook the darn thing.

Ya, its pretty cool.

One last prayer then I gotta go.

My God, my Adored One, my King, my desire! What tongue can voice my thanks to Thee? I was heedless, Thou didst awaken me. I had turned back from Thee, Thou didst graciously aid me to turn towards Thee. I was as one dead, Thou didst quicken me with the water of life. I was withered, Thou didst revive me with the heavenly stream of Thine utterance which hath flowed forth from the Pen of the All-Merciful.

O Divine Providence! All existence is begotten by Thy bounty; deprive it not of the waters of Thy generosity, neither do Thou withhold it from the ocean of Thy mercy. I beseech Thee to aid and assist me at all times and under all conditions, and seek from the heaven of Thy grace Thine ancient favor. Thou art, in truth, the Lord of bounty, and the Sovereign of the kingdom of eternity.
