Thank goodness David had more inspired creativity than that, and wrote a psalm that moves us to worship God for all He is.

Based on the meditation for July 6 in For The Love of God.

Okay, okay, I just wanted to try out the slide-show feature in WordPress.

The correct posture for prayer

Posted: March 28, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Humour | Comments Off

“The proper way for man to pray,”
Said Deacon Lemuel Keyes,
“And the only proper attitude,
Is down upon his knees.”

“No, I should say the way to pray,”
Said Reverend Dr. Wise,
“Is standing straight with outstretched arms,
And rapt and upturned eyes.”

“Oh, no, no, no!” said Elder Slow,
“Such posture is too proud;
A man should pray with eyes fast closed,
And head contritely bowed.”

“It seems to me his hands should be
Austerely clasped in front.
With both thumbs pointing toward the ground,”
Said Reverend Dr. Blunt.

“Las’ year I fell in Hodgkin’s well
Head first,” said Cyrus Brown.
“With both my heels a-stickin’ up,
My head a-pointin’ down;
“An’ I made a prayer right then an’ there,
best prayer I ever said.
The prayin’est prayer I ever prayed
Was standin’ on my head.”

—“Cyrus Brown’s Prayer” by Sam Walter Foss
