Prayer of the Long Distance Driver

Miscellaneous Meditations No Comments »

O Lord, keep us from all stalls, crashes, flats, knocks, pings and all manner of transmission trouble and engine distress.
Make, O Lord, straight our roads and disperse all the traffic jams of the enemy.
Protects also from all evil that may befall us on the path.
The state trooper and his radar gun blind them,
The rubber-necker cut his neck asunder,
The slow driver in the left lane trample under wheel speedily.
So cover us with Your heavenly insurance, for which there is no deductable. For we have no co-pilot at the wheel but You for You send to us the tow truck driver, mechanic, and all manner of road side help.
Amen

    Extreme Bishop Questions No Comments »

    Your Grace,

    Is it wrong to try and hack bible software so I can get it for free? I’m only doing this out of my great love for the word of God. Also isn’t a sin for that company to force people to pay for it. I mean Christ, Himself, freely gave His life up on the cross so ALL may be saved. I don’t remember reading in the bible (though I would know for sure if the evil company didn’t lock their bible software) our Lord asking the apostles to ante up a gold piece each before he headed towards Golgotha. And when the Holy Spirit inspired the men who wrote the bible, nowhere is it recorded that the Holy Spirit povide inspiration and for a 15 day trial period and then made them pay for it. Am I not doing the Lord’s work by hacking this software? and I would freely distribute it, I would not be greedy with.
