ehem...is this thing on?

ok...

Dear God,

I would personally like to request a future.  That sounds ridiculous because we all have a future.  But right now, I'm thinking a job would be nice.  Having money so I don't have to live with my mother in Podunkville, Texas would be wonderful.  (Not that I don't love my mother, but I wouldn't seriously date a guy who lived with his mother an didn't have a job, so why would I expect a guy to date me in those same circumstances?)  This was meant to be brief.  But, then again, You do know me, Lord.  And I tend to be really long-winded.  Anyway, thank You for Your blessings, and please consider my request.

In the name of Jesus Christ Your Son,

Amen

P.S. Please be with Tom Cruise.  I think he's suffered a severe head injury.
