War Prayer

Sent to me by a good friend, written by Mark Twain. Controversial, perhaps, but true.

It's here.

Thank you Jesus....

Daniel has an odd habit of inserting words into prayers that don't really belong there. Never anything bad, just a boy being silly.

This morning over his breakfast (waffles), he prayed, "Thank you Jesus for this poop." I started to reprimand him, but then it occurred to me.

It's so easy to thank Jesus when the bills are paid, the house is clean, we're all healthy, and life is good. But do I thank Him during and even for the crappy parts of life too? The things that I would really rather not be occurring? That's what the Bible says, right? "In everything, give thanks."

So, right now....thank you, Jesus, for this poop.

Goodbye

....and Godspeed, troop.
