Its Only Called The Serenity Prayer...there is MORE!

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.



I just wonder do we know that courage and wisdom are in this prayer? We are so very capable of being serene, able to accept EVERYTHING!






It has become where right is considered utopian. Really? When did righting the wrongs of the world become a utopian vision? When did excellence lose its fight to perfection?






I know I am challenging one of the most commonly used prayers, but in fact, I’m not. I’m challenging the person that prays.






We need to see a brighter light, a glowing and powerful belief that hunger, death, and hopelessness cant go on in our world. Right shouldn’t be what we hope for anymore…it should be the standard…bare minimum.






Someone once told me that right is right even when all that is wrong attacks it. You must be diligent in standing on the side of right. Right doesn’t need your help, it needs your action. It will survive without you practicing what is right. I didn’t believe that until recently, now I know because I see so much wrong. I see the acceptance of it. We have become complacent to the wrongs, we have become slaves to stagnation. We have allowed what is to be and stay, accepting baby steps after we have already learned to walk. I was under the impression that after man learned to walk physically, mentally, and spiritually we could fly!






And fly we should! Lets get the courage by standing together not tear each other apart. Lets show we have wisdom by applying what we know is right and do it…today, tomorrow, and beyond.
