Liked Best: All of it and the Irish
feel of it. 11/15/07__________________________________ Monk Linda, I just wanted to share with you what I have done with the Daily Prayers. When I first started to print out the Daily Prayers, I would leave out the extra reading for the different year, but then I realized that if I included the whole thing then I could just print them out, punch holes for a small binder, and I would have the schedule from year to year. I didn't use it the way you posted it because it used too much color, and color cartridges are quite expensive. I can take my Daily Prayer with me wherever I go and not have to miss my time of communion with God. Blessings! Linda Reply from The Prayer Foundation ™: Thank you for your great tip! We have done the same thing with the Classic Christian Hymns. We printed them out, punched holes in them, (adding the little "strengthening rings" around the punched holes, so the pages don't tear), and collected them all together in a 3-Ring Binder. We sometimes have Church Groups and Christian Ministries over for our Christian Movie Night (which includes sharing with us our Evening Meal and our Daily Evening Worship Service), so we just printed out as many copies of each Hymn as we needed for both our own use and for that of our guests. Our goal for ourselves is to memorize them all, but we're still working on that. As they used to say in some of the African-American Churches back in the nineteen-'twenties and 'thirties, "If it isn't worth memorizing, it isn't worth singing!". Note: Although the 2-year Scripture Reading Guide always remains the same, some of the dates of the Holidays (like Easter and Lent) have to be updated every year on the website to be correct for the current year). 11/14/07__________________________________ Thank
you for your lovely website. Esther

Dear Monk
Preston,
All I can say
is WOW! Thank you and Praise Him for the work and effort you put
into the new web page on Advent.
Fascinating, illuminating information. It will enhance our Advent
celebration...and also move it one day earlier!
Like our
monastic brethren at Portland, we will begin our Advent
on Thursday, and will be praying about the form that should
take. We decided that we did not leave enough time to put
together an Advent service open to the whole church, but we
will be having a private service here at the house that God and prayer
provided to us.
We have also
added your prayer request for a new, larger, more rural monastery for
the Prayer Foundation's home to our intercession list.
This is important to us, because someday we want to make the journey
to visit (I would like to do it by bicycle, but time will tell if that
will happen).
Thank you
again for the marvelous Advent page.
Blessings,
Monk Hans

P.S., Our Advent wreath is identical to yours, and we have already placed the green candles on it, three dark and one light, in place of the pink, purple or blue ones. 10/8/07__________________________________ Survey: 10/5/07__________________________________ Survey: 10/30/07_________________________________ Greetings of Peace in Jesus'

Preston and Linda,
Love your website. What
a lotta good stuff! Wanted to introduce myself. I am a
permanently vowed monk in the Order of St. John the Beloved, a Franciscan
monastic order of The Communion of the Holy Trinity
(evangelical Anglican). I am also an ordinand--I'll be
ordained as a priest a week from Sunday (we also believe the Bible
teaches the priesthood of the believer, but that the priesthood itself
is an office and calling: not any less important than anybody else in
the Body, just a different function). Our bishop and abbot, Jim
B., came out of the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches
a few years ago (he was a former Assembly of God pastor and a Roman
Catholic seminarian). I was previously in the Reformed
Episcopal Church, ECUSA and the Charismatic Episcopal Church
(among a lot of other churches--my wife Shirley and I are "mutts").
In our order, our monks and nuns are equal--our nuns aren't
subordinate to our monks; we're all equal (except, of course, that Abbot
Jim is our abbot--but he'd tell you that God and His Holy Spirit
is the real boss).
Love your web site. We
have been praying for your order and ask your prayers for ours.
Under the mercy,
Br. Francis
(Oklahoma)
