Our Father...



Our father,

Hi, God.

Who art in Heaven.

Although we can't see you, we know you're there.

Hallowed be thy name.

We know who you are, and that your name means something--it's holy!

Thy kingdom come,

We want to live in your kingdom

Thy will be done

and do all the stuff you want us to do

On earth as it is in Heaven.

so this place can be the way you wanted it to be.

Give us this day

Today we're asking for something--

Our daily bread,

The food we need, but not just food. We need generous hearts, kind words and good thoughts, too.

And forgive us our trespasses

Please forget about all the stupid stuff we've done, like not paying attention to you except for when we're feeling really down and out and don't know where else to turn--like now,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And we'll forget about all the stupid stuff other people have done to us. Bygones.

And lead us not into temptation,

And please help us not to do even more stupid stuff, like saying nasty things to people who disagree with us, politically and otherwise.

But deliver us from evil.

And please just keep Donald Trump the hell away from the White House!

Amen.

Amen.
