Ego Boost
Thanks to Victor
Lams for the kind things he said about my blog, unfortunately my head
swelled to two-times normal size prompting me to compose the
following:
The Litany of Blog Humility
From the desire of
my blog being read
Deliver me dear Jesus
From the desire of my blog
being praised
Deliver me dear Jesus
From the fear of my blog being
despised
Deliver me dear Jesus
From the fear of my blog being
forgotten
Deliver me dear Jesus
From the fear of no page
views
Deliver me dear Jesus
That other blogs may be loved more than
mine
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it
That Nihil Obstat may
find all my grammatical and spelling errors
Jesus, grant me the grace to
desire it
That Google may never list my blog
Jesus, grant me the
grace to desire it
That comments always be negative and
abusive
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it
That my commenting
system always say "commenting temporarily unavailable"
Jesus, grant me the
grace to desire it
That Mark Shea may notice every blog but
mine
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it
That others may be
pithier than I, provided that I may become as pithy as I should
Jesus,
grant me the grace to desire it
