Austin Wayne Dyson Comes Into the World
Austin Wayne Dyson came into the world Saturday, January 26, 2008, in Houston Texas, at 2:14 pm. The proud parents are Shirley's and my friends Otis and Kim Dyson. He was 8 lbs., 5 oz., and 20 1/2 inches. When Otis and I were on the phone, he demonstrated his good set of lungs!!
Of course, Otis will have him on the radio with him ASAP (Cheyenne has been on numerous times with me!). Father, we ask for Your hand to be on Your child Austin. Bless Him as he comes into the world. Protect Him from all evil. We pray He would grow up knowing You, and serve You with all his might. Let Him be a joy to his parents and let them be a joy to him. Fill him with your Spirit and give him the joy of knowing and serving You. We ask for Your blessing on Austin now in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.+ Amen.
About Me
- Father Francis Robert
- I am an evangelical Anglican priest and monk, musician, and radio man--I have committed my life to the Lord Jesus Christ, our great God and Savior. My wife Shirley and I and our bird Abbey Ruth live in a house, Mercy House, our hermitage (monastic house), in Warr Acres (northwest Oklahoma City), and I have a daughter, Cheyenne. I am concerned about things ancient Church and monastic, and I am a priest in The Communion of the Holy Trinity, a jurisdiction of the Church in the evangelical Anglican tradition--the ancient apostolic Church, when she was one and undivided and called catholic, as she grew in the British Isles. Our parish, Chapel of St. Francis, meets in our home. The monastic order I'm part of, The Order of St. John the Beloved, is a Franciscan monastic order of The Communion of the Holy Trinity. We are "convergence" or "three streams" -- a blending of evangelical, sacramental/liturgical, and Spirit-filled--the life of the Holy Spirit, the elements of belief, practice, and worship of the ancient Church. These elements, rediscovered and allowed to be as they were in the early Church, makes for a balanced, relevant Church today.
Beautiful sunset..............we enjoy the Creation.

Alleluia! Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us! Therefore let us keep the feast! Alleluia!

Behold the Lamb of God! Behold Him Who takes away the sins of the world!
Happy are those who are called to His Supper! (I have consecrated, and present Christ in the Eucharist for the first time!)
