Thanks

God,

Forgive us please
For slapping Your
Holy name
on our shirtfronts
as if it was some
sticky, pre-printed
nametag.

"Hello, my name is...
whatever I choose to be
when and how it pleases me
regardless of how it pleases You
as long as I am
at peace
and happy
with lots of money and
children who excel in school
and have a good job
and my neighbors
and in-laws like me
and I have lots of friends, and
OH! I belong to God.
My name is Christian."

With all of that,
O God,
I thank you
And ask for more.
