A Modern Psalm?

Disclaimer: This is meant to be funny, so please don't be offended!

Bethany had the first of two spring planning meetings last week. One of our tasks while in small groups was to compose a psalm. Here is one example:

A Psalm of X's group

(When they were in the Valley of the Mall surrounded by black boulders)
-for the strategic planner

O Lord, how lovely is the spring time, a time for missions, visions and core values.
Lord have mercy, we are mired in the bog of SWOT
but in your kindness we are surrounded by many strengths,

like sweet honey flowing from a beard.
We confess our communications weaknesses but, by your grace,

we are overwhelmed by countless opportunities.
O Lord, in your mercy remove the threats around us,
And now Lord may the visions of our leaders and the

measurable outcomes of our planning be acceptable in your sight.

[black boulders = leather furniture :o)]

...And some people think strategic planning is no fun!
