BLESS MY COMPUTER

Every single evening

As I'm lying here in bed,

This tiny little Prayer

Keeps running through my head:

God bless all my family

Where ever they may be,

Keep them warm

And safe from harm

For they're so close to me.

And God, there is one more thing

I wish that you would do;

Hope you don't mind me asking,

Please bless my computer too.

Now I know that it's unusual

To Bless a motherboard,

But listen just a second

While I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that little metalbox

Holds more than odds and ends;

Inside those small compartments

Rest so many of my friends.

I know so much about them

By the kindness that they give,

And this little scrap of metal

Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them

Much the same as you.

We share in what life brings us

And from that our friendships grew.

Please take an extra minute

From your duties up above,

To bless those in my address book

That's filled with so much love.

Wherever else this prayer may reach

To each and every friend,

Bless each e-mail inbox

And each person who hits' send'.

When you update your Heavenly list

On your own Great CD-ROM,

Bless everyone who says this prayer

THE PERFECT CHURCH

If you should find the perfect church

Without one fault or smear,

For goodness sake

don’t join that church

You’d spoil the atmosphere.

If you should find the perfect church

Where all anxieties cease,

Then pass it by, lest joining it

You spoil the masterpiece.

If you should find the perfect church

Then don’t you ever dare

To tread upon such holy ground

You’d be a misfit there.

But since no perfect church exists,

Made of perfect men,

Let’s cease on looking for that church,

And love the church we’re in.

Of course it’s not the perfect church,

That’s simple to discern.

But you and I and all of us

Could cause the tide to turn.

What fools we are to flee the past

In that unfruitful search

To find, at last, where problems loom

God proudly builds his church.
