Title: The Proper Way to Pray Post by: Shylynne on March 19, 2004, 08:11:27 AM The proper way for a 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 Doctor 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 Doctor Blunt. Last year I fell in Hidgekin’s well Headfirst, said Cyrus Brown, With both my heels a-stickin’ up And my head a-pointin’ down. And I made a prayer right then and there, The best prayer I ever said, The prayingest prayer I ever prayed, A standin’ on my head. :D Title: Re:The Proper Way to Pray Post by: sincereheart on March 20, 2004, 06:39:44 AM ;D
The prayingest prayer I ever prayed, A standin’ on my head. LOL! Title: Re:The Proper Way to Pray Post by: JudgeNot on March 20, 2004, 05:17:11 PM Cyrus Brown's prayer obviously worked - he was around later to talk about it!
LOL - good one, Shylynne! Title: Re:The Proper Way to Pray Post by: archangel on June 27, 2004, 04:43:42 PM Really a great one Shylynne....Thanks for sharing!
