“Lord, keep us steadfast in thy Word”*

Happy birthday, Lyle Lovett!

Lyle Pearce Lovett (born November 1, 1957) is a Grammy-winning country singer/songwriter and actor. I have seen him in concert at least three times.
Lovett still resides in North Harris County, Texas in the farming community of Klein, named after his great-great-grandfather and where he was raised. He hails from a long line of Texas Lutherans–there are several German enclaves in the state. As such, he always ends his albums with a hymn, a country tradition, and his way of a tithe.

This was interesting.
Today is also All Saints’ Day. It’s a good day to remember all the saints in your life, past and present.
Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen. (BCP)
