Golf Tournament Prayer

Our rector, Chad Vaughn, used this prayer at the Haitian Hope Golf Tournament on Tuesday, May 8.   The golf tournament  is  our largest single fund raiser.  The prayer is attributed to Jeff Hiatt.

Golfer's Prayer

Lord, as I walk down the fairways of life,
help me to realize that my greatest opportunities to learn are actually when I am in the rough,
where I discover things I never knew were there,
and when I'm in the deepest sand,
where I learn that there is a time to walk softly,
and clean-up after myself,
and when I'm playing scramble,
where I learn that I have friends to make up for what I lack,
and when I find the water,
where I learn that some things are
better left alone.
And when the ball rolls into the hole for that wonderful par,
help me to realize that all good things
come from you.
