Especially for you! Mark Unseen   Oct 12 02:26 UTC 2000

Subject: Especially for You


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."

  How schmaltzy does a prayer have to be before God's net glory for it
  falls into the negative column?

this one's actually not so bad...
Nice enough sentiment. I wrote a poem in this spirit back when MLady died...

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

I don't believe Lot's wife was turned to salt because she didn't pray right.

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