Owen Sound City Council defeated their own bylaw proposal to eliminate the Lord’s Prayer at the beginning of council meetings, and replace the prayer with a moment of silent reflection……
I think everyone knows I’m not the most religious man in this county, but I recognize and appreciate the power of prayer….
Therefore, Dear Lord of the Rink…
Please give us the strength and ability to beat the Majors tonight and allow the devoted Attack fan base to rejoice one last time at home.
Deliver us a victory and send this David & Goliath OHL Championship series back to the beautiful-but-cavernous temple, known as the Hershey Center, for Game 7 on Sunday afternoon.
Like Jonah, free our snipers from the clutches of these tedious checkers, and let them blow by the Majors like the parade bypassing Zacchaeus.
Let our scorers multiply their markers likes fishes and breads at Bethsaida
With Job-like-patience, give us discipline not to commit the needless foul. Or at least not get caught. in the act.
If possible, like Noah, send the Majors to the box, 2 by 2, and make our defence as sturdy as the Ark itself.
Most of all, Dear Lord of the Rink, give us some good officiating, A fair shake.
If Pontius Pilate is available, he’d be good.
We know he’s crooked, but it would be hard for Pilate to be any more misguided than the disciples we’ve seen in this series so far.
Game 6 tonight at 7 at the Bayshore.
Amen.
I’m Fred Wallace
