Praise poem #7

Lord, from You, all good things flow, we praise your name, for all your gifts; protect us in the hour of need, from all external hurts and rifts. Shelter us from wayward leanings, that crop up from time to time; keep us safe from earthly charms, from the pettiness of crime. Build in us a sense of pl...

What are these candidates about? they use foul language and they shout; what has happened to our courtesy? (did it start with you or me!?) All persons running have great flaws, they ignore their own great laws; boasting of what they do not know, it's entertainment, a minstrel show. I pray for this s...

Never see tomorrow with misgivings, never see the past with sad regret; have no qualms about the present, because your expectations are not met.
