Here's a cute prayer parody that respects the sanctity of prayer, yet isn't afraid to be irreverent. It was found on the back of a wine bottle of (what else?) Red Zinfindel wine!

My Wrath is the path to all I desire.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.
I’m inflated with pride, near-bursting inside, 
A self-centered repenter, Vanitys’ bride.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.
I’m mired in mud, inert as a slug, 
Sloth is the cloth that’s woven my rug.
Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins. 

I eat day and night, consuming all in my sight,

 A Glutton with nothing but a huge appetite. 

Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins. 

My will I ignore, my Envy’s a chore, 

Over zealous and jealous, 

I want so much more. 

Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins. 

I’m ravenous to feast, an insatiable beast,

I concede to the Greed demanding release. 

Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins. 

I hunger for trust, my craving’s a must, 

My sin is the Zin enslaving my Lust. 

Oh Lord, forgive me my Zins.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN PRAYER

Good morning to you all, my brothers and sisters in prayer! I humbly turn to you once again and ask that you pray on my behalf. I ask that my daughter's friend, Nicholas, find a home and source of transportation to his job. He is valiantly trying to maintain sobriety, be a good father to his children and not be tempted to return to ways that caused him to at one time be incarcerated. I also ask for prayers that all my children be healthy and happy in mind, body, soul and spirit. Finally, I do ask for prayers that I continue to be well in body and mind and that my imminent move will be a good one. I pray for all you as I begin each day and am so grateful for your help as well. Blessings to all of us!
