Henry -- I couldn’t help but have a good chuckle at the
little boy’s prayer. I am reminded of the time when I was a freshman in
college, (Centre College of Kentucky) where the Presbyterian ethic was still in
play before they secularized. Some of the student ate in the College
dining commons and at each meal one student would be asked to give the pre-meal
blessing. When I was the chosen one I blanked out, couldn’t remember a
single blessing, so mumbled a confused version of the Lord’s Prayer and sat
down. It is these moments of acute embarrassment that linger
in one’s mind. Will Meriwether
Dr. Meriwether,
I actually attended Sewanee with the great great granddaughter of Ephraim McDowell! As a Centre alum, you will remember that he made Danville the heart of abdominal surgery for a bit!
