The Serenity, I Mean, Senility Prayer

Before teaching Jim Jackson's Bible study groups on Matthew 5:1-11 this morning (the Beatitudes), the Senility Prayer came to mind. While I meant to share it, you guessed it, I FORGOT IT! So here it is, courtesy of Connie Bielecki, in the Fall, 2009 Desert Call:

Grant me the senility
to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune
to run into the ones I do,
and the eyesight
to tell the difference.

Feel free to share this, folks, during your next "joke time!"
