Today, I had a monthly pastors meeting (area 1 CoB Pastors). We have been reading a book on evangelism and discussing it. Out of the blue... someone started talking about this skit they had seen/heard recently concerning the Lord's Prayer. (if you haven't read the previous post, you should read it before this one.)
Someone gave me a copy. It is too long to type in it's entirety here, but I will share the first page of 6.
"Our Father who art in heaven."
"Yes"
"Don't interrupt me. I'm praying."
But you called ME!
Called you? No, I didn't call you.
I'm praying. Our Father who art in heaven.
There, you did it again!
Did what?
Called ME!
You said, "Our Father who art in heaven."
Well, here I am.
What's on your mind?
But I didn't mean anything by it.
I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day.
I always say the Lord's Prayer.
It makes me feel good, kind of like fulfilling a duty.
Well, all right. Go on.
Okay, Hallowed be thy name...
Hold on right there. What do you mean by that?
By What?
By hallowed be thy name?
It means, it means ... good grief, I don't know what it means. How in the world should I know? It's just part of the prayer.... (author unknown)

Martin,
This prayer (and more) was used at NJHC in 2007 very effectively during one of the worship services. I thought I had it as a video clip, but can't find it. It was really a great reminder of what it is that we are doing when we are bold enough to say these words. Nice post.
