Lord I will spend my lunch with You at noon. I am sorry I missed it this morning.

There is just too much to do, I will never get everything done if I stop for prayer. I’ll pray while I work. That’ll do.

Come in, Lord. Sit here in the good chair. Let me get You a drink, and are You hungry?

Welcome, enter and be blessed.

Who’s there? Do I know you?
