I testify to the power of the Lord's Prayer.
I could write a book...a brief and not very good book on how it transformed my life but, it's already been done by people who could actually write worth a fleegus annnnd... on top of that... they're all basically the same.
My nascent heart sense arose in 2000 with the rote recital of the Lord's Prayer in Sunday morning church . I felt it's sing song repetition rendered it meaningless. I decided, out of pure contrariness to emphasize each part differently from the herd and yeah, I was mocking their uniformity. In the midst of all the fun I was having, I did let those words sink in real good. I didn't know it but, I was reaffirming the Covenant fervently and effectually and God honored that. This happens all the time and I have to remind myself that I don't have to know everything, I only have to know enough to act.
"Uh... Mr Iain, what happens all the time?"
"This... "THIS" is what happens...you know brought to us by THEY"
"Way to go, you ruined the whole flow"
"Sure did, now what?"
"We could throw a block party"
"I don't know what that means but, if it's a party count me in"
"Guys, guys. You do realize it would have taken less time to just simply fix the sentence"
"I ain't correctin' nothing"
"Hell yeah, like Pharaoh said....so let it be written, so let it be done"
"I love Yul Brynner in that movie"
"Will there be live music at the block party?"
"What block party? They ain't no "blocks" around here"
"I think I mean the one in my head"
"Cool, can I bring a guest? "
... ... ...
"Nice deflection Mr Iain"
"I thought so"
"Anything else?"
"....the suggestion box is overflowing..."
"I am not about to clean that mess"
"Ah'ite den...football?"
"How about a walk upside the mountain?"
"Now you're talkin'"
"Walking stick?".....Check
"Raincoat? "............Check
"Binoculars?"
"It's cloudy..."
"Don't matter....Check"
"Pocket knife, string, bandana, pistol"....Check
"I think I better pull the plug before it gets ridiculous
Gets?
You have no idea.
