Comment on Pinklight article:

          From: Jo Ellen Coker

          Norma, I always wanted to write to tell you how much I enjoyed your story about the fish and how "people should

          be "helpful" to the ones who cant help themselves. I truly "teared" up reading that story and as I did, I was hoping

          no one saw me crying over a fish. haha  But it trouble me so, I still have that article and it will go into my "scrapbook"

          of stories, etc.

          Thanks,

          Jo Ellen Coker

Almighty God, giver of all good things:

We thank you for the natural majesty and beauty of this land.

They restore us, though we often destroy them.

We thank you for the great resources of this nation.

They make us rich, though we often exploit them.

We thank you for the men and women who have made this country strong.

They are models for us, though we often fall short of them.

We thank you for the torch of liberty which as been lit in this land.

It has drawn people from every nation, though we have often hidden from its light.

We thank you for the faith we have inherited in all its rich variety.

It sustains our life, though we have been faithless again and again.

Help us, O Lord, to finish the good work here begun. Strengthen our efforts to blot our ignorance and prejudice, and to abolish poverty and crime. And hasten the day when all our people, with many voices in one united chorus, will glorify your holy Name.Amen.
