She Prays

In church on Sunday,
I overheard this little old lady
in the pew next to me
saying a short private prayer.
It was so sweet and sincere
that I just had to share it with you:


Dear Lord,
These past few years
have been tough....
You have taken my
      favorite Actor Patrick Swayze,
my favorite actress Elizabeth Taylor,
my favorite Cowboy James Arness,
my favorite athlete Bob Feller,
my favorite singer Lena Horne and
my favorite salesman Billy Mays.

I just wanted you to know that my
favorite president is Barack Obama.

Amen.
