Oral Tradition

I realized this week, the importance of actually *reading* the text.  I don’t know how the ancient peoples kept an oral tradition of story telling. 

 

So, I realized that I lost a word; I’ve been praying a very simple Morning Office in the mornings as I drive to work.  I have, at some point, lost the word Almighty from the Apostle’s Creed.  I didn’t realize it.  When I was at Church last week, I had my oops moment.  So, despite the criticisms of some—about praying from a form prayer or prayer book—it is actually important for people like myself to have the prayer book to keep my Office on track.
