Day 19 - Today Test the Power of Prayer

I've been putting this off for awhile and I've no idea why.

Today, test the power of prayer.
"Prayer is a very much underexploited resource in modern society. Just because prayers sound fancier if they're about world peace doesn't mean they can't work for the most mundane matters. Put those atheistic leanings aside and test the power of prayer today."

Some examples:
"Dear God, May interest rates stay as they are today so that I may not be forced to sell my home and live out in the suburbs where the houses are ugly and the parks brown."
"Father, Please let the supermarket not have run out of seabass for then I shall be forced to reconsider my entire dinner party menu."
"Dear God, I pray that the television channels I receive may prove entertaining enough this week to fill the black hole that is my social life."


Here's mine:
After spending nearly 5 1/2 hours watching Fellini movies and seeing all the beautiful women I was struck with the urge to cut my hair and to have sex many, many times with Marcello Mastroianni. Unfortunately, he died of pancreatic cancer the year my oldest child was born so I was out of luck with Marcello. I also could not afford a haircut. So I took matters into my own hands:
"Dear God,
Please grant me the ability to cut my own hair without fucking it up as it is really getting on my nerves."


The results -- not so good at all. But now I'm motivated to get a real haircut.





Today Aislin managed to pull down the entire closet pole and all the clothes hanging on it (much like mine was broken for weeks). So, another prayer:

"Dear God,
Grant me the patience and tolerance to not kill Aislin for breaking the clothes pole in the kids closet and pulling all of Lhiannan's clothes to the ground. Actually, please grant Lhiannan the patience to not kill her."
