Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread

Martin Luther wrote in his Catechism that before our feet touch the floor each morning we should recite the creed and pray the Lord’s Prayer.  I must admit, I fail in this Lutheran dictate more times than I succeed.  Between my alarm clock blaring the “best mix of 80s, 90s and today”, the sound of my cat crying to be fed, thoughts of the upcoming morning battle with my pre-teen daughter, and the call of the bathroom, thoughts of my God seem to find their way on to the back burner of my mind.

 Two months ago, my Marty and I were getting some much needed “us” time at a local dinner.  While we were enjoying our BLTs a single lady of our approximate age struck up a conversation with us.  As it turns out, she is Lutheran and shopping for a church since she is new to the area.  So, as I often do, I invited her to church.
