God Bless the Green and Gold


I
don't know who is
the Patron Saint of Cheeseheads, but I'm sure there is one. The wife is so nervous about this Sunday's Packer game that I'm not sure she's going to make it. God help me if they lose. She's fretting and thinking and talking out loud, planning her pre-game activities and wardrobe, trying to decide if she should go to Wisconsin to watch the game or remain in the Flatlands, if she should pray now, pray later, pray during the game, say a rosary.....

Since I couldn't find the Patron Saint of Cheeseheads, let me share with you a Prayer that was emailed me today. Sacreligious? Maybe. Appropriate? As good as it gets.

Pray for the wife and for the green and gold. Please. I can't bear the thought of a loss.

Our Favre,
Who art in Lambeau,
Hallowed be thine arm.
The bowl will come,
It will be won.
In Phoenix as it is in Lambeau.
And give us this Sunday,
Our weekly win.
And give us many touchdown passes.
But do not let others pass against us.
Lead us not into frustration,
But deliver us to the valley of the sun.
For thine is the MVP, the best of the NFC,
and the glory of the Cheeseheads,
now and forever.

Amen, indeed!
