It was typical of George Washington to write 2 times a day in his prayer journal.  This is just an excerpt of what seems to be the norm for his writing.  An amazing man in an amazing time.  Happy 4th of July!

SUNDAY MORNING

Almighty God, and most merciful Father, who didst command the children of Israel to offer a daily sacrifice to Thee, that thereby they might glorify and praise Thee for Thy protection both night and day; receive, O Lord, my morning sacrifice which I now offer up to Thee….I beseech Thee, my sins, remove them from Thy presence, as far as the east is from the west, and accept of me for the merits of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, that when I come into Thy temple, and compass Thine altar, my prayers may come before Thee as incense; and as Thou wouldst hear me calling upon Thee in my prayers, so give me grace to hear Thee calling on me in Thy word, that it may be wisdom, righteousness, reconciliation and peace to the saving of my soul in the day of the Lord Jesus.

SUNDAY EVENING

O most Glorious God, in Jesus Christ my merciful and loving Father, I acknowledge and confess my guilt, in the weak and imperfect performance of the duties of this day.  I have called on Thee for pardon and forgiveness of sins….Let me live according to those holy rules which Thou hast this day prescribed in Thy holy word; make me to know what is acceptable in Thy sight, and therein to delight, open the eyes of my understanding, and help me thoroughly to examine myself concerning my knowledge, faith and repentance, increase my faith, and direct me to the true object, Jesus Christ the Way, the Truth and the Life, bless, O Lord, all the people of this land, from the highest to the lowest, particularly those whom Thou hast appointed to rule over us in church & state.  Continue Thy goodness to me this night.  These weak petitions, I humbly implore Thee to hear, accept and answer for the sake of Thy Dear Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

I’m not certain it is illegal/infringing on copyright laws to post links to CVS coupons. I know there are people reprimanding others for doing so, but here is an interesting read. All said, it still looks rather up in the air to me. I guess we take our chances. Just because CVS issues a letter (in any form), doesn’t mean they’re right. We have rights as well. Not trying to rock the boat, just trying to stay informed.

So, if you receive a threatening letter from CVS, are you still “above board” posting a link? Perhaps so, but if I got a letter, I’d stop posting because I don’t need legal trouble. Food for thought though. Until then, if I come across a link, should I post it until I, personally, hear from CVS (this post just might do it)?  Does “refraining from even the appearance of evil” apply here?  Hmmm.

I just got one in the mail today (good through July 6th) and I have no use for it. I don’t shop there. There isn’t one close enough. First one to post a comment with a mailing address can have it. I will delete your mailing address before I post your comment. The winner of the below give away may not win this one. Spreading out the goodies.
