Thank You From Lewis Long

For the people, by the people, and about the people of Lake Helen, Florida

to everyone for your encouragement and support of my campaign,
Lewis C. Long for City Commissioner, Zone 1

My best wishes go to our new city commission along with this prayer by Richard, Cardinal Cushing. Over the years, I have shared this prayer with military personnel worldwide and it has brought to them and to me a good perspective on life as I hope that it may to you, as well.

Help me be a good sport in this game of life. I don�t ask for an easy place in the lineup. Put me anywhere you need me. I only ask that I can give you 100% of everything I have. If all the hard drives seem to come my way, I thank you for the compliment. Help me remember that you never send a player more trouble than he can handle.

And help me, Lord, to accept the bad breaks as part of the game. May I always play on the square, no matter what the others do. Help me study the Book so I�ll know the rules.

Finally God, if the natural turn of events goes against me and I�m benched for sickness or old age, help me to accept that as a part of the game, too. Keep me from whimpering that I was framed or that I got a raw deal. And when I finish the final inning, I ask for no laurels. All I want is to believe in my heart that I played as well as I could and that I didn�t let you down. AMEN.
