By / CNOtes /

Phather Phil’s Prayer Heavenly Father, we are often challenged by the question. “Why does God allow so much evil in the world?” For many of us we don’t have an answer. It’s like Einstein trying to explain his theory of relativity to a new born baby. Even that probably pales in our understanding of Your greatness.

Phather Phil’s Prayer Heavenly Father in a couple of days we will celebrate the birth of this great nation. Some will look upon it only as a day off from work. A person must be cold indeed who can look upon our flag fluttering in the breeze and not feel the love of country. You have

By / CNOtes /

Phather Phil’s Prayer Heavenly Father, there are times when we clown around, sometimes at very inappropriate times. We are thankful that is not your ways, Lord. Yet!  You must have been in a playful mood when you created the platypus. I’m sure You can remember and are still smiling. Now that I have everyone’s attention wondering

By / CNOtes /

Phather Phil’s Prayer Heavenly Father, when talking to You we need to follow the advise given in the “kiss technique.” As we age we are plagued with momentary lapses in memory.

By / CNOtes /

Phather Phil’s Prayer Heavenly Father, how many times have You heard us say, “Why me Lord?”, when bad things happen. Should we not ask, “Why me Lord?” when good things happen? Most of our problems are of our own making. The severity of the problem is in direct proportion to the stupidity of our act. Then

By / CNOtes /

Phather Phil’s Prayer Heavenly Father, like the Grinch, I thought of something I never thought of before. Least we continue our complacent ways. Help us to remember that somewhere out there a man died for us today. As long as there is war, we must ask and answer, “Are we worth dying for?” What did we do to receive this
