Buying Tips for Ceramic Tile
The correct subfloor structure is critical to performance
Ceramic tile, more than any other form of flooring, requires the proper subfloor system and setting materials. A double subfloor system with the total thickness of 1-1/4 in., over floor joists 16 in. on center is required. The top subfloor layer should be exterior grade plywood or an underlayment specifically designed for ceramic tile installation like cementous backerboard.
Special setting materials are available which will allow ceramic tile installations over existing floors that are solid and already meet the above requirements. Failure to provide a sturdy base can cause grout to crack and release or tile to crack.
Although many ceramic tiles look the same, there are quality differences
The quality of raw materials, the firing process, and the sophistication of glazing applications that create realism will determine the quality of the finished product. These quality differences are often reflected in the price.
Selecting the right surface glaze is an important step when selecting floor tile
Floor tiles are rated for glaze wear and slip resistance, which are important factors to consider. Glaze ratings should exceed 3 for residential applications with the exception of bath areas that can use tiles rated 2. Tiles with a slip resistant rating of 0.5 or better should work well in most indoor residential applications.
Use caution when selecting tile for installations outdoors. Unglazed quarry tiles, tiles with heavily textured surfaces, or porcelain paver tiles, all with slip resistant ratings of 0.6 or greater are possibilities. They must also be frost resistant.
Request the best in setting materials
New latex modified mortars and grouts provide better strength while also allowing greater flexibility.
Special Caution
Dropping objects on ceramic tile–particularly heavy ones–can chip even the best tiles.

Current Service Notices:
Disappearance of images when using Lexar Compact Flash Cards
We have received inquiries about the problem of images disappearing when using specific digital SLR cameras. As a result of our investigation, we found that the following two problems may occur. Please be advised of the details and countermeasures.
1. Disappearance of images when using Lexar Compact Flash Cards
Affected Products (D-SLR): EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1D Mark II, EOS 20D, EOS Digital Rebel XT / EOS 350D Digital / EOS Kiss Digital N
Affected Products (CF card):
Lexar Professional 80x-speed Compact Flash cards
Captured images on some Lexar CompactFlash cards can be lost when used with the Canon cameras listed above. Working together, Lexar and Canon have investigated the cause and confirmed that the problem occurs in extremely rare instances when the products above are used together.
Lexar will offer a free firmware update incorporating the correction of this problem by the end of May 2005 for Lexar Professional Series 80x CompactFlash card customers using the affected Canon cameras.
Lexar customers can contact Lexar Professional Support in US at (+1) 510-413-1233, or in UK at (+44) 1483-522-947 or visit Lexar on-line at www.lexar.com/support.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience these issues have caused for you. We will make every effort in quality control to provide products that our customers can use with confidence. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

We discovered that, for some of the EOS 20D and EOS Digital Rebel XT models that were produced during a certain period of time, the body number printed on the label had worn off following use of the product. This problem affects some products in the following serial number ranges:
EOS Digital Rebel XT:
Body No. "0310100001 - 0310112966", "0320100001 - 0320105992", "0330100001 - 0330127407"
The body number becoming faint or wearing off does not affect the product functionality. It also does not affect warranty service since the body number is recorded as data in the product. Please contact your local service center if you encounter this problem.

What is a news feed? A news feed (also known as an RSS feed) is a listing of a website's content. It is updated whenever new content is published to the site. News readers "subscribe" to news feeds, which means they download lists of stories at an interval that you specify (every 30 minutes, for example), and present them to you in your news reader. A news feed might contain a list of story headlines, a list of excerpts from the stories, or a list containing each story from the website (Appalachian State's news feeds contain story excerpts). All news feeds will have a link back to the website, so if you see a headline / excerpt / story you like, you can click on the link for that piece of content and will be taken to the website to read it.
What is a news reader? A news reader (also known as a news aggregator) is simply a piece of software that you can use to read your subscribed news feeds. It is to news feeds what Outlook, Hotmail, and Entourage are to email
What is RSS? RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based format for sharing and distributing Web content, such as news headlines. Using an RSS reader, you can view data feeds from various news sources, including headlines, summaries, links to full stories.

So let's look at some golf cakes, shall we?
Now, golf courses come in all shapes and sizes, which allows for a wide range of difficulty, scenery, and funny faces:
"The good news is you've got a nice straight shot.
"The bad news is that ball is to scale."
Which reminds me: would you believe the term "lead foot" originated in golf?
If so, then let me tell you the one about the goofy cake blogger who knew obscure factoids about sports.
For = how you indicate who gets the ugly golf cake.
"Four" = *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*

People sometimes confuse canker sores and cold sores, but they are completely unrelated. Both can be painful, but knowing the differences can help you keep them in check.
A canker sore is typically one that occurs on the delicate tissues inside your mouth. It is usually light-colored at its base and can have a red exterior border.
A cold sore or fever blister, on the other hand, usually occurs on the outside of the mouth, usually on or near the nose or lips. A cold sore is contagious because it is caused by the herpes simplex virus, and it is usually painful and filled with fluid.
In most cases, patience is the best medicine for treating canker sores. A healthy diet and good oral hygiene are usually the best remedy, but some special rinses and anesthetics can help. Cold sores can be treated effectively with some over-the-counter topical creams; sometimes, an antiviral medication will be prescribed by your doctor.

Most of us don't think much about the tires we drive on until one of them goes flat. Give us a call we would love the opportunity to provide you a quote for your tire needs.
Your car's tires are easy to forget about, but the truth is they are one of its most important safety features. It's the tires that come between you and the road, and problems with your tires can contribute to an accident. We are ready to help you with all of your tire needs. Our trustworthy team can do the job.
Types of Tires
When it comes to tires, you have many options to choose from, and using the right tire for the job you have is important to keep yourself safe on the road. The mechanics at our shop are ready to help you find the right tires for your need. Some options to consider include:
All Season Tires – All season tires are great for winter weather. They give you great traction.
Passenger Car Tires – These are great for most passenger vehicles. However, if you plan on towing with your truck or SUV, you'll want something more rugged.
Summer Tires – Summer or ultra-high performance tires aren't going to give you a good grip on icy roads. Also, in temperatures below 45 degrees, the rubber will harden and decrease tire flexibility. These work great in warm temperatures.
All-Terrain Tires – All-terrain tires work well for trucks that will be towing or going off-road. They are more durable and offer better performance in rough driving conditions than other tire types.
Common Problems with Tires
We see a variety of problems with tires that come through our doors. From flat tires to tires that are not properly inflated, we want to help you use your tires well. Some of the more common problems we see with tires include:
Underinflated Tires – Underinflated tires have less air pressure than recommended by the manufacturer. Underinflated tires hurt your gas mileage.
Overinflated or Overloaded Tires – This problem occurs when the tire is inflated beyond the manufacturer's recommendations. This can give you a rougher ride and also cause uneven wear on your tires.
Old, Worn Out Tires – Tires need tread to properly trip the road. If the tread has worn to 4/32-inch or less, you are not safe on the road. Also, if the tread is wearing unevenly, you could be at risk for a blowout. Even if the tires aren't worn, if they are six years old or older, they should be replaced because the integrity of the rubber starts to break down.
To make sure your tires are inflated properly, check the manufacturer's recommendations on the door of your vehicle or in the owner's manual. If you aren't sure how to check tire pressure, stop into our repair shop for help.
Comprehensive Tire Services
If your car's handling seems off or if you know you have a problem with your tires, give us a call. With safe, quality tires, you will get the best performance from your vehicle and ensure a safe ride for yourself and your family.

Title: Take a Chance
Series: Willow Creek #4
Author: Micalea Smeltzer
Cover Design: Regina Wamba - Mae I Design
Release Date: August 25, 2015
I had life all figured out.
Married with a baby on the way I stupidly believed that things were perfect.
But then the good guy I fell in love with turned out to not be as good as I thought.
I was left alone to pick up the pieces of my life and provide for my daughter.
And then I met him.
The bad boy that just might not be so bad.
Three years after her husband walked out on her Arden James is struggling to make ends meet as a single mom. Despite it all, she knows she's better off with her ex out of the picture, and so is her daughter.
Josh Hayes—player, jokester, and very naughty boy—is the guitar player for the band Willow Creek. He's used to living the fast life, but suddenly it doesn't appeal to him anymore, and he has his sights set on the fiery Arden.
Despite their undeniable chemistry, Arden isn't sure she wants to invite a man into her life that has never been in a committed relationship before. But Hayes is determined to prove to her that there's more to him than meets the eye. He just needs Arden to take a chance.

Online Safety Store
D.E. Gemmill Inc. is your source online for safety apparel and traffic control products. Our online safety store is here to equip your team for the job. Since 1986, safety has been our main priority. We understand the need for high-quality equipment that is priced to fit your budget and clothing that's tough enough for demanding jobs.
Safety Apparel and High-Visibility Clothing
Safety apparel is a broad category of products that includes flame-resistant clothing, protective eyewear, hard hats, protective footwear and more. In a busy work environment where hazards are present, safety apparel is critical to preventing injury. Without it, a minor incident can quickly turn serious and lead to accidents with far-reaching consequences for both workers and employers.
D.E. Gemmill carries:
If you're unsure what construction safety clothing and gear to buy in our store online, consider:
- Safety standards. If your jobsite requires specialized apparel because there are moving vehicles or other heavy equipment, safety apparel can help your workers stay aware of one another.
- Fit. Ensure your workers dress appropriately by supplying them with safety apparel that fits properly.
- Color requirements. Neon colors help those on and off your jobsite be aware of your workers, whether on the highway or in a construction zone. Bright colors save lives.
If your business needs to order bulk quantities of safety apparel or you need to outfit your workers with more than one piece of clothing, get in touch with us. We can customize and deliver your safety apparel in the sizes and styles you need. And if you're within 150 miles of our York, PA retail location, we can come to you with our Mobile Safety on Site (S.O.S.) truck.
The Mobile S.O.S. truck makes it possible for your workers to choose their own safety apparel. Talk to us ahead of time, and we can quickly stock the S.O.S. with all of the sizes, styles and colors your workers need to stay safe on the job.
Traffic Control Products
Traffic control products for sale at D.E. Gemmill Inc. include light bars, flares, wands, warning lights, temporary traffic control signs, sign stands and more. These and related products help roadwork crews do their jobs safely and efficiently.
Investing in reliable equipment not only helps avoid accidents. It also improves employee morale and productivity while keeping traffic flowing smoothly. Search our online store for products such as:
- Bollard covers
- Lightbars and personal safety lights

So, if you're not sure what to order, just ask! We can review your job requirements and help you choose the traffic gear that's right for you.
Fall Protection Equipment
Ensure your jobsite and workers comply with OSHA regulations and prevent unnecessary injury with our fall systems, designed to keep your workplace as safe as possible. If you work in roofing, construction, utilities or another industry that requires working at heights, it's in your best interest to use the fall protection gear that will protect you, your workers and your business.
At D.E. Gemmill, we carry:
- Full-body harnesses
- Lanyards
- Carabiners
- Snap hooks
- Prevention barriers and other OSHA-compliant fall protection equipment

We're conveniently located for customers in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New York, New Jersey and Virginia. You or your workers can come in, view our selection and try on the equipment that will make your jobsite safer and OSHA compliant.
Follow the links on the left to browse the main sections of our online catalog. You can also contact our office directly for assistance. Alternately, if you're in the Central PA area, visit our safety store retail showroom in York for a more hands-on experience.
There are several considerations that will impact your choice of safety apparel and traffic control products. The first is the condition of your job site. Will workers be exposed to heat, flames or electricity? Will they be working outside or among moving vehicles? Will they be required to go into confined spaces or areas where visibility is poor? What about corrosive liquids and chemical fumes?
Ultimately, you know your business better than anyone and can determine which products are necessary to ensure a safe working environment. At D.E. Gemmill, our safety apparel is rated Class 2 or Class 3, so you can be sure to get the clothing that's appropriate for your job site's specific hazards.
When buying traffic control products or safety apparel, you also need to know you're getting the best value for your money. Choosing a durable product that will deliver on its promises requires doing your research ahead of time and working with an experienced supplier. D.E. Gemmill Inc. carries items by leading brands such as Rasco FR, ML Kishigo, Ariat, GSS, Aervoe and others — manufacturers whose products we know and trust. Get in touch with a representative for help choosing the best items for your needs.
For over 34 years, D.E. Gemmill has built a reputation for providing outstanding products and services to businesses in the construction and paving industry. We're contractors, too, so we understand the products you need to get your job done safely.
Expert advice is only one part of what sets D.E. Gemmill Inc. apart from other traffic control and safety apparel suppliers. We also offer fast, reliable shipping to customers across the country as well as an exclusive return policy that guarantees your satisfaction. We carefully select all items on our online store to ensure they meet the high demands of our clientele. As a result, it's easy to shop online with confidence.

Here are some do's and don'ts to help you make sure you're having a good time, staying safe and being a good fuck buddy:
DON'T: Don't text her at all hours of the evening. Just because she is having casual sex with you doesn't mean you should be bugging her all the time. She might be married...
DO: Always use a condom and make sure to get tested for STD's regularly. Also, look out for cold sores and don't have casual sex with women who look like they may have had a lot of unprotected sex.
DON'T: Don't stay too long. You're there for casual sex and not a relationship. Remember, she might have just fucked you, but her husband or boyfriend could be coming home any minute.
DON'T: Don't cuddle after sex. Remember you are trying to keep this a no string attached night. You're there for sex, and once you are done you should not be giving her the wrong impression.
DO: Keep repeating to yourself before, during and after sex, that this is just about sex and not love. That good feeling you are getting while she is riding you or giving you a blowjob is not love...
DO: Experiment and keep things wild. You're not there to make love, you're there for crazy sex, so make it crazy. Ask her if you can tie her to the bed, or ask her if you can cum on her face. Chances are she is meeting you for local casual sex because she wants to try new things too!
DON'T: Don't be mean to your casual sex partner. Remember, this could be the first time she has ever had sex with a random local stranger too. She could be nervous, and you probably are too. The goal is to have fun and have sex and to go home laid, not to go home angry.
Avoid sex parties and large gatherings. If you do attend large gatherings or decide to have sex in a group setting, please be sure to follow COVID-19 precautions.
Limit your sex partners and hookups to people in your social bubble and people that you know and trust.
If there are not enough sex partners in your social circle, then enjoy sex virtually. Things such as online adult dating sites, video dates, sexting, sexy Zoom parties or chat rooms are a great way to find someone to hookup with. You can still have a lot of fun with virtual sex, and you can stay safe not just from Covid, but also from other sexually transmitted diseases. Also, it's easier to have virtual sex with more partners ;)
If you do meet for sex in person, wear a face mask, even during sex! Wearing a face mask over your nose and mouth adds a layer of protection.
Make it kinky. Be creative with sexual positions and physical barriers that allow sexual contact while preventing close face-to-face contact.
Masturbate together. Use distance and face masks to reduce the risk of getting sick while you help each other get off!
Wash up before and after sex. Wash hands and sex toys with soap and warm water. Disinfect keyboards and touch screens you
share with others.No string sex is one of the best things that can happen to you. You get to have sex with local women without all of the burdens of a real relationship, like remembering birthdays or anniversaries. All you have to do is remember where to meet and fuck. Here are some tips on making no string sex even more fun:
1. Always remind yourself that this is no strings sex. Remember to remind your partner as well. Both of you are just looking for some sex, and not some attachment. Remember to be clear with your intentions as well. Also, it may be perfectly fine to be friends with your casual fuck buddy, but remember to draw the line there.
2. Your fuck buddy is not your wife or your girlfriend, and she probably isn't the first person you should run to when you need to talk. When you are in a no string sexual relationship remember to make it all about sex and not all about you. Nobody wants to listen to you about your ex-wife or your problems at home. Like you, she is there for sex, so make sure to keep it that way.
3. No strings attached sex is the best way to live out a fantasy and to try new things in bed. Always remember, however, to be respectful of her wants. Remember to try everything. If you both want a threesome, why not? If she wants you to tie her to the bed, go for it. Make the most of your time to experiment and make the most out of sex, but don't cross the line.
4. Don't get stuck with just one girl, try out a few. The best way to have fun casual sex is to rotate sexual partners frequently. This will keep your levels on confidence high, and will make it easier for you to remain discrete and avoid attachment. Who knows, you might even be able to get all the girls to fuck you at the same time :).
There is probably nothing better than hooking up with a hot local girl or meeting up for a one night stand while your travelling or while the wife is away (nobody is judging...) but there are a few things you should always keep in mind:
1. If you live in a large city and you are looking for local girls for sex, you might accidentally see someone you know. If you do, hit her up and see if she wanted to have sex with you, but remember that she is local and you might have the same friends or know the same people.
2. Never spread rumors or share information about the local women you are talking to. They are simply looking for a good time and should be comfortable doing so. By spreading rumors or sharing private information about the girl, you might scare her into deleting her profile. Always respect the girls that are online looking for local hookups, just as you would want them to respect you.
3. Chances are, that if you are trying to meet local women for hookups, dates, casual sex, or even serious relationships, you might end up bumping into them again. Some of these girls might be the girl next door, or a co-worker, nurse, doctor, or anything in your area. You could easily run into past and present casual sex partners, hookups, fuck buddies and friends with benefits in public. Remember to be discrete and respectful.
4. Be discrete! This is very important! When you are online using a casual or adult dating service, discretion is very important. Chances are, you don't want everyone to know you are cheating on your wife, and most girls don't want half the town knowing she has a profile on an adult or casual dating site.
You've just gotten out of a serious relationship and now you've decided to try a casual adult dating. Where do you start? Are you rusty? There are a few things that you can keep in mind that will help to ensure that your casual relationship remains safe, fun, and most of all, casual.
1. Always make sure to be honest about wanting to keep the relationship casual. After all, you do not want to mislead your partner into thinking you want more when you're really just looking for casual sex.
2. Remember to never spend the night, because this gives your partner the impression that you want to move beyond a casual relationship into a more serious one.
3. Remember that you are not the only one in a casual relationship. You're looking for a local girl that will have sex with you, and chances are that she is just looking for sex too. You're going to talk to hot, sexy women and she will probably end up talking to sexy men or woman as well. This is a casual sex date.
4. Always take care of yourself. Make sure that, when you meet up, you are clean and ready for sex. With casual adult dating, she will be more likely to refuse sex if you do not look clean and ready to go.
5. Remember that she is a fuck buddy, and that you are looking for hot sex and nothing more. Always, ALWAYS, wear protection.
6. Casual dating lets you try new things. Maybe you've always wanted a threesome, or maybe you have never had sex with a blonde. Maybe, you want to be tied up by a hot MILF. Remember to have fun and be adventurous.

Capitalizing on his father s talent for telling a story in comic strip form, Morgan began to develop a sense of narrative in his drawing. "It was here that art became a language for me." At the age of 12, Morgan applied his interest in art to studying his father s art books and began his art school studies at the Brandes Art Institute at 15. Working in a Los Angeles art supply store while attending art school, Morgan chanced to show his artwork to a prominent illustrator. As a result of their encounter, at the age of 19, Weistling found himself employed at a top movie poster agency in Hollywood. For the next 14 years, Morgan illustrated for every movie studio in Hollywood. His clients included Universal/Amblin Entertainment, Disney, MGM, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers, Columbia Pictures and TriStar. In addition to movie posters, Weistling created all the cover artwork for the video series, McGee and Me for Focus on the Family and his art can be seen on numerous magazine, book, CD and video covers as well as Sega pinball machines. Since he has made fine art the focus of his art career, the collector demand for his originals has been overwhelming. With his masterful use of oils, Morgan Weistling brings a scene to life with spectacular lighting, creating a sense of wonder and engaging the viewer s imagination and emotion. His dreamlike images touch the viewer s heart, using more than sentimentality to engage the viewer. His canvases are filled with brushwork that tells a story beyond the subject matter. Like a skilled movie director, he manipulates the focus of interest with suggestions and impressions of forms that are barely realized and allow the viewer s imagination to fill in the details. "There is a story underneath the story of my paintings," Morgan adds, "I don t hide the process of how I painted it. You can see the layers and count the strokes it took to get there. With some styles of painting, the closer you get to the canvas, the more you will see. With mine, the more you step back, the more detail you will see. That s not easy, which is why it fascinates me." Morgan Weistling follows in the footsteps of the masters he admires, John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn and Nicolai Fechin as well as many others. In all of his vibrant work, from western art to feminine forms, Weistling crafts a narrative, driven by clarity, focus and purpose, drawing on images inspired by his beliefs and scenes from daily life. "My hope is that people will enjoy viewing my artwork as much I enjoyed painting it. For me, art is my language used to communicate to others how I see God s creation. When I experience another artist s work, I love to see through their eyes and find out as much about the artist as the subject they painted. That is what makes art so interesting." Weistling, a highly sought-after teacher, conducts private workshops with juried students and teaches at the prestigious Scottsdale Artist School. Recent honors and awards include the Patron s Choice Award and the Trustees Purchase Award at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles, CA, the Prix de West Purchase Award at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK, and the Patron's Choice Award at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage. Weistling's book, The Image of Christ, was a finalist for the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association Gold Medallion Book Award. Weistling and his artist wife JoAnn, whom he met in art school, have been married for 14 years. Their 9 year-old daughter is often a model in Weistling s paintings. They make their home in California. "

Details of the amounts of tax relievable pension contributions for individuals and employers.
Tax relief available for personal contributions is the higher of £3,600 (gross) or 100% of relevant earnings.
Any contributions in excess of £60,000, whether personal or by the employer, may be subject to income tax on the individual.
The limit may be reduced to £10,000 once money purchase pensions are accessed.
Where the £60,000 limit is not fully used it may be possible to carry the unused amount forward for three years.
The annual allowance is tapered for those with adjusted income over £260,000. For every £2 of income over £260,000 an individual's annual allowance will be reduced by £1, down to a minimum of £10,000.
Employers will obtain tax relief on employer contributions if they are paid and made 'wholly and exclusively' for the purposes of the business. The tax relief for large contributions may be spread over several years.
Auto enrolment places duties on employers to automatically enrol 'workers' into a work based pension scheme. Employers are required to automatically enrol all 'eligible jobholders' into a qualifying pension scheme and pay pension contributions on their behalf.
Employer minimum contribution: 3% Total minimum contribution: 8%
Where the employer does not make the total minimum contribution the employee is obliged to pay the balance.
The basic State Pension is a regular payment from the government that an individual may be entitled to when they reach 'State Pension age'.
The basic State Pension depends on the number of years an individual has paid National Insurance or got National Insurance credits, eg while unemployed or claiming certain benefits.
To receive the basic State Pension an individual must have paid or been credited with National Insurance contributions (NIC).
In 2016 the State Pension was reformed into a single-tier new State Pension. In order to benefit from the full amount the individual will need 35 years, rather than the previous 30 years of NIC or credits for the full amount, with pro-rating where 35 years is not achieved. You will usually need 10 qualifying years to get any State Pension. The amount an individual receives can be higher or lower depending on their National Insurance record. It will only be higher if you have over a certain amount of Additional State Pension.
Currently an individual may also be entitled to the Additional State Pension. How much an individual gets depends on the number of qualifying years of NIC, the amount of earnings and whether the individual has been contracted out of the scheme.

Openly gay Bishop Gene Robinson gave the invocation prayer at the kick-off for the inauguration. It is a historic moment for the LGBT community, one that many of us tuned in to see.
HBO aired all the actors, musicians, and comedians, but failed to air Bishop Robinson's prayer.
Demand to know why.
E-contact Form.
You may contact HBO's Consumer Affairs Department at 212-512-1208 Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM Eastern Time.
Below is a video and transcript of the Bishop's speech.
"Welcome to Washington! The fun is about to begin, but first, please join me in pausing for a moment, to ask God's blessing upon our nation and our next president.
O God of our many understandings, we pray that you will…
Bless us with tears – for a world in which over a billion people exist on less than a dollar a day, where young women from many lands are beaten and raped for wanting an education, and thousands die daily from malnutrition, malaria, and AIDS.
Bless us with anger – at discrimination, at home and abroad, against refugees and immigrants, women, people of color, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
Bless us with discomfort – at the easy, simplistic "answers" we've preferred to hear from our politicians, instead of the truth, about ourselves and the world, which we need to face if we are going to rise to the challenges of the future.
Bless us with patience – and the knowledge that none of what ails us will be "fixed" anytime soon, and the understanding that our new president is a human being, not a messiah.
Bless us with humility – open to understanding that our own needs must always be balanced with those of the world.
Bless us with freedom from mere tolerance – replacing it with a genuine respect and warm embrace of our differences, and an understanding that in our diversity, we are stronger.
Bless us with compassion and generosity – remembering that every religion's God judges us by the way we care for the most vulnerable in the human community, whether across town or across the world.
And God, we give you thanks for your child Barack, as he assumes the office of President of the United States.
Give him wisdom beyond his years, and inspire him with Lincoln's reconciling leadership style, President Kennedy's ability to enlist our best efforts, and Dr. King's dream of a nation for ALL the people.
Give him a quiet heart, for our Ship of State needs a steady, calm captain in these times.
Give him stirring words, for we will need to be inspired and motivated to make the personal and common sacrifices necessary to facing the challenges ahead.
Make him color-blind, reminding him of his own words that under his leadership, there will be neither red nor blue states, but the United States.
Help him remember his own oppression as a minority, drawing on that experience of discrimination, that he might seek to change the lives of those who are still its victims.
Give him the strength to find family time and privacy, and help him remember that even though he is president, a father only gets one shot at his daughters' childhoods.
And please, God, keep him safe. We know we ask too much of our presidents, and we're asking FAR too much of this one. We know the risk he and his wife are taking for all of us, and we implore you, O good and great God, to keep him safe. Hold him in the palm of your hand – that he might do the work we have called him to do, that he might find joy in this impossible calling, and that in the end, he might lead us as a nation to a place of integrity, prosperity and peace.
