I heard this from a friend: “God’s neat; let’s eat.”

It always cracks people up when, during “grace” before a meal, I say “and Lord, please bless this food so it doesn’t make us fat” – hey, I’m a fat guy, I don’t need to get any fatter.

Because of you, Jon, I am going to start ending my prayers with “Ok, I love you, bye bye!”

The most awesome prayer sign-off I’ve ever heard came from my brother-in-law, who got sort of confused towards the end of his prayer (you know how it is, you had a thought going, and then it just loses steam) and he fumbled the ending into “so thanks, Lord, and, uh…..have a nice day.” To God. I think the Almighty appreciated that sentiment, personally. How many people wish that God would have a nice day?

Isn't it great how we gravitate to liturgy and ritual even when we think we're non-liturgical? I grew up in a combination of non-denominational, Lutheran, Assemblies of God, Vineyard, and probably some others. The big difference? Some of them had the liturgy written down in the hymnal, and others just had it memorized and pretended they didn't have one

The campus leader of Cru at my college has an awesome sign off– he'll say something to the effect of "If my words are true to your words, let them be remembered. If my words stray from your words, let them be quickly forgotten."
I heard my pastor steal it one week.

I have a good friend who is a Marine. His chaplain would always end prayers with oorah and amen!

The "thank you for toes" part really appeals to me. I mean, why not? Toes are pretty incredible when you think about it!

I'm a youth pastor and my students recently told me that I always end my prayers with a "double amen" (all 4 years of ministry). I stopped doing it and now that's all they think about.
