This was inspired by a couple of postings from February and August 2009 on JSIM. This is the front of a card I made for a teacher. You can see another card front idea titled teachers prayer 1 and the inside in teachers prayer 3. Or all together here...http://ferrellgraph-x.blogspot.com/2010/10/teachers-prayer.html

This is a historical site in East Africa which has a big history about the coming and establishment of the Arabian rule and slave trade. The place is called Bagamoyo which is a Swahili word meaning "Here I rest my heart", it's a small town along the East African coast. The African slaves used to say those words crying for their lost freedom and abuse against humanity in their very own land.
Saying prayers here is a way of telling our fore fathers that we, their children, are free again, and we are still fighting against mental slavery.
Long live history!

Prayers
I am not so good at the whole prayer thing. But I did hope this couple's prayers were answered. Its the least I could do as I snapped this picture as I walked by.

Installed hand embroidered piece, "Prayer Flags" at the art gallery at Tacoma Community College show 'Pop Art' January 18th-May 3rd.
In creating these flags I was thinking more of consumerism and less of pop art.
This prayer wheel is the largest in the world at 21m high. Made of copper and painted with gold, it weighs 60 tonnes and takes 10 people to turn it. At over 3300m above sea level it is quiet a strenuous effort...

I've never prayed like this in my life, kneeling beside the bed, hands in that phony-feeling position. I've also never been one to use rote prayers, like "now I lay me down to sleep..." For me, prayer is more about intentionally seeking right action, and being in right relationship: it's what many religious refer to as praying ceaselessly.
It wasn't Veteran's Day or Memorial Day or even the 4th of July, but in the grand ballroom of the Double Tree Hotel by Hilton in Alsip, it looked like all three celebrations rolled into one.
On Tuesday, October 15th, Cook County Commissioner, Joan Murphy, along with Vitas Innovative Hospice Care, Dignity Memorial and Double Tree Hotel by Hilton sponsored and hosted the 2nd annual "Salute to Our Armed Forces" celebration. Men and women who have served during war as well as peace time were honored for their contributions and their sacrifices. Guest speakers included Joan Murphy and Col. Jill Morgenthaler (Retired). After inspirational speeches, prayers for POWs and MIAs, and flag presentations, every veteran present went up to be announced by name, branch of service and war served.
The Col. highlighted her career, from being one of the first women to ever join ROTC, to being the first female commander in the Army Security Agency Group in Korea, and many other firsts/achievements throughout her long career. Col. Morgenthaler's devotion to all veteran's is evident when she speaks, letting civilians see the level of loyalty and true camaraderie among all that have served.
Once the colonel was finished, the different branches were called and each veteran present was announced by name and given a medallion and a certificate. The Pointe attended with four residents who had served:
Hank Z. - Marines
Martha K. - Army
Bob S. - Air Force
Lester J. - Army
Overall, the presentation was inspiring and heart warming. It was nice to see so many men and women honored for their duty. There were veterans who looked like they were barely out of their teens to men and women who were in their late 90s. It was also a nice reminder that we don't need a calendar to tell us when to appreciate our veterans; any day, including a rainy Tuesday in October can be that day.
A huge thanks to all of those that made this day and this celebration possible!!
