    Opening prayer tomorrow

    I've been asked to give the opening prayer tomorrow in Sacrament meeting. If I said "bless us this Super Sunday" would that be out of line?

    I think it's OK if you remember to bless Brother Collie.

      I'll give you a dollar if you ask that the participants can play to the best of their abilities and that no harm or accident may befall them.

        Just make sure that you bless that no harm or accident will come upon the players and ask that they will play to the best of their ability.

            Wow. Eerily identical. This may mean that one of us is destined to kill the other. I sure hope not.

              I wonder what the history is on "no harm or accident" in Mormon culture.

                  I've always wondered how the prayers are received before a downhill mountain biking ward event when we are preparing to go screaming down hill recklessly on a rocky trail at 30mph.

                  I also wouldn't dream of not blessing the pizza and doughnuts at youth activities.

                      Don't forget to ask that both sides play with good sportsmanship and that all those who couldn't make it this time will come next time. That covers both the players and the members who stayed home to watch

                        Wait, you mean in your ward you get asked to give the prayer in sacrament meeting before you even get to church?

                          Since tomorrow is Fast Sunday, why limit these affirmations to prayer. You can bear your testimony on keeping one's eyes on the goal line, blocking the advances of the enemy, intercepting the fiery darts of the wicked, etc.

                            I'll be doing a baby blessing so I get lots of leeway don't I?
                            I have nothing else to say at this time.
