In Celebration of

Bill Pittman1947-2007

Serenity Prayer

God, grant me The serenity to accept the things I cannot change;The courage to change the things I can;The wisdom to know the difference.

Finding Home

Dear God, help me think of....

Stepping on shore, and finding it Heaven!

Of taking a hand, and finding it God’s hand.

Of breathing new air, and finding it celestial air.

Of feeling invigorated, and finding it immortality.

Of passing from storm and tempest to an unbroken calm.

Of waking up, and finding it Home.
