30 years ago, I was 19! That was a lifetime ago. I was young, carefree, naive and never even knew about the I.S.A. This was my prayer, written on 23 November 1978:
My Prayer
I sit here Lord, inspired by You
and hope that you watch all I do
I look back and I wonder why
so many times I told a lie
so many times I let You down
so many times I made You frown
I also wonder how, dear Lord
You made me see you were not bored
You loved me tho' I was quite slow
You even showed me where to go
I ask, dear Lord, not just for me
I ask, dear Lord, for all to see
that we must love our fellow men
not sometimes or just now and then
but always, Lord, and this I ask
For it is not an easy task
For everyone to understand
Your Will, Your Way, Your guiding Hand
I sit here Lord, and softly pray
that somehow things may change today
Fast-forward to 2008. I'm now what some people may consider a die-hard supporter of the anti-I.S.A. sentiment. For this reason, I sat to write a prayer again on 11 December 2008. Here it is:

The Blogs 
Dear Lord,
The good we do is never lost,
Each kindly act takes root;
And every bit of love we sow
In time will bear it's fruit.-Amen
