Great lake in the moonlight- Winter 2008-09. . .full moon on the waves. . .Faith is for the night. In times of darkness, PRAY!
The morning prayer is taking a stand.
Before we begin our day,we need to strengthen ourselves for the tests of the new day, with prayer.
Mincha, the afternoon prayer is growth, self-discipline,pruning the work of the day with prayer.
The prayer of the night is reflection, encountering the Almighty in the prayer of the evening, to prepare ourselves for the faith of sleep.
