Top O' the Day to Dan & Alan

From St. Patrick's Breastplate
Christ be with me
Christ before me
Christ behind me
Christ in me
Christ beneath me
Christ above me
Christ on my right
Christ on my left
Christ where I lie
Christ where I sit
Christ where I arise
Christ in the heart of every man
who thinks of me
Christ in the mouth of every man
who speaks of me
Christ in every eye that sees me
Christ in every ear that hears me
Salvation is of the Lord.

Today we not only celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but also the birthdays of two nephews-in-love! First is Dan...Dan is married to my sister's firstborn daughter, Brittany. Dan is truly "Irish" and loves that his birthday is on March 17th...very appropriate. Dan became an "official" member of our family on July 12, 2008.

Dan & Declan

“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates."

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Alan Miller
