Story of the Day
So there I was on the road to Indianapolis. It sure seems like all I saw for miles and miles were rows of corn. This summer evening was pleasant. The sky was clear. It was a joy to drive the car with the windows down and smell fresh country air. Then, over the horizon, I saw some lights approaching. They were in the sky. As the lights came closer, it appeared to be a spaceship of some kind. This couldn't be true! Surely I wasn't going to have one of those alien accounts like you read about in the grocery store blab sheets in the checkout counters. But it happened. The spaceship landed in a field. I pulled my car over to watch. Then the creature came off of the ship. I watched in wonder at a life-form, I had never witnessed before approached me. We attempted to communicate. Our attempt at communication failed. There was a feeling of peace in the air. I didn't feel frightened or threatened. I actually felt love. Loved by this alien from above. We took a walk together and a bond of sorts was taking place. The bond came together in my mind as a bond of common life. We had life individually and now through this meeting, we had life with one another. Another attempt to communicate only brought actions of appreciation for one another. We actually hugged. Then the alien went back to the ship. A final glance at one another and I waved. The alien waved back and the spaceship flew away. In peace and love, I got back into my car and drove on. Two lives meeting. Two lives combining. Two lives together as one for a moment in time. Together in peace and love.

Prayer of the Day
Lord, author of life, I come to You this day. I come to meet and greet You. I come to You as You have come to me; in life. Your gift of life is precious. Guide me this day so that I value every moment of life You have given. Guide me this day in Your love, to love You and others. Guide my life in union with You and in union with those You give to me this day, that we may bring joy to Your heart and a smile to Your face. That's Life! ---Amen
