Today after lunch I headed west on Highway 212 into the Beartooth Mountain Range. I wanted to see that part of "the last best place" before snow makes travel impossible for me. In fact I did see some patches of snow in the higher elevations, but mostly I saw those trees turning gold and heard the roar of the water flowing in Rock Creek (so aptly named).
As I drove along engulfed in all this natural beauty, it was impossible to get away from what is on the minds of so many people these days: the welfare of these United States of America. As always, The Book of Common Prayer has a word for us:
O God, the fountain of wisdom, whose will is good and gracious, and whose law is truth: We beseech you so to guide and bless our Senators and Representatives in Congress assembled, that they may enact such laws as shall please you, to the glory of your Name and the welfare of this people; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (p. 821)
In peace,
Linda+
