Dear Lord:

  Every evening
  As I'm lying here in bed
  This tiny little prayer
  Keeps running through my head.

  God bless my mom and dad
  And bless my little pup
  And look out for my sister
  When things aren't looking up.

  And God, there's one more thing
  I wish that you could do
  Hope you don't mind me asking
  But please bless my computer too?

  Now I know that's not normal
  To bless a mother board
  But just listen a second
  While I explain to you 'My Lord'.

  You see, that little metal box
  Holds more to me than odds & ends
  Inside those small compartments
  Rest a hundred of my 'BEST FRIENDS'.

  I know for sure they like me
  By the kindness that they give
  And this little scrap of metal
  Is how I travel to where they live.

  By faith is how I know them
  Much the same as you
  I share in what life brings them
  From that our friendship grew.

  PLEASE, Take an extra minute
  From your duties up above
  To bless this scrap of metal
  That's filled with so much love!

Please send this poem to all of your on-line friends to show how much
you care!  Also, make sure you send it back to whomever sent it to you
because obviously they care about you and you are their friend.  If you
are their friend, send it back!

  Keep this poem going!
  "Whatever you do, do it for the glory of God."
  1 Corinthians 10:31

        YHVH is a vengeful god, and He does not like schmaltzy prayers. 
Remember what happened to Cain?

        I thought it was because Lot's soup was somewhat lacking ...

(Lot's wife wasn't turned to salt - if he and his wife even existed. You
know, conservation of atomic species, and limits on elemental transmutations,
and all that.)

I think it is you, brighn, who should lighten up. It is hilarious how
those old tribal guys invented amusing stories. I guess I will have to
add humor emoticons because of your totally humorless mind.

Just add humor emoticons. It's netiquette.

And if you think I lack humor, you haven't been reading. After all, I spent
all that time talking to you about spirituality. =}

(Barbs aside, dude, you're all right. A little too serious, but certainly a
better debate partner than most anyone on here. Well, except Jazz.)

we're seriously fighting. ;} )
