Prayers for Thanksgiving

My family tradition is to gather all 30 of us in a circle around the enormous buffet and read the blessing together out loud. Aunt Dottie does especially well at the "loud" part.

For Thanksgiving break this week, here are two prayers: the second one is a link to a great prayer for reporters. The first is an original. Enjoy, and be thankful. We'll get back to the heavy stuff next week.

Our Editor, Who art in Heaven,

hallowed be Your byline.

Your conglomerate come,

Your writing be done,

in ink

as it is on the jump to page eleven.

Give us on 1A our daily spread,

and forgive us our errors,

as we forgive our lousy sources.

Lead us not into wanting to just report easy stuff,

but deliver us from writer’s block,

for Thine is the newsroom,

and deadline in one hour,

and Your story forever.

Amen.
