Summer fun

Marian is slowly working on her summer bucket list (version 2) and having fun.  She made a theme dinner this week (all Louisiana food) and did a couple other things.  She sees her biggest task as memorizing the entire "Hamilton" soundtrack.

Gabriel is busy at the Lab and also working occasionally at Aubrey's.  His godparents are visiting on Monday and Tuesday as they have a family vacation in TN and KY.

I've been making some costumes for "Fiddler" but done for now.  I have to start the design work for ORHS Masquers 2016-2017 productions.  Marian and I have also been busy with rehearsals for the show.

Prayer for Orlando

O God of love, compassion, and healing,
look on us, people of many different faiths and traditions,
who gather today at this site,
the scene of incredible violence and pain….
God of understanding,
overwhelmed by the magnitude of this tragedy,
we seek your light and guidance
as we confront such terrible events.
Grant that those whose lives were spared
may live so that the lives lost here
may not have been lost in vain.
Comfort and console us,
strengthen us in hope,
and give us the wisdom and courage
to work tirelessly for a world
where true peace and love reign
among nations and in the hearts of all.
(originally for victims in 9/11, but very appropriate for these recent tragedies)
