Prayer
« on: July 10, 2004, 07:05:20 AM »
The following prayer is attributed to one-time Texas Ranger Captain Jack Hays when his regiment was trapped during the Battle of Palo Alto, a major battle of the Mexican War:

"O Lord, we are about to join battle with vastly superior numbers of the enemy, and, Heavenly Father, we would mighty like for you to be on our side and help us. But if You can't do it, for Christ's sake don't go over to the Mexicans, but just lie low and keep in the dark, and You will see one of the dangest fights you've ever seen."

Instead of saying "Amen," Hays roared "Charge!"
