Gates of Prayer from the Reform Judaism Prayerbook

.
In the rising of the sun and in it's going down,
We remember them;
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of the winter,
We remember them;
In the opening of the buds and in the warmth of the summer,
We remember them;
When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember them;
When we have joys to we yearn to share,
We remember them;
So long as we live, they too shall live,
For they are now a part of us,
As we remember them.

Join me in the Relay for Life

.
I will be participating in the Relay For Life on March 14-15, 2008. It is an 18 hour walk around the track of our local high school. I have set a goal of walking the entire 18 hours except for one 5-10 minute break each hour. I look forward to contributing in a some way to motivate others to walk and hope to continue this as a yearly goal.
