Jesus, Save Me!
My pastor’s first job after Bible college was that of associate pastor in a small church. One of his assignments was to visit shut-ins and new church members.
Hoping to make a good impression and build rapport with those whom he visited, he applied some newly acquired word-association techniques to help in remembering his hosts’ names.
On one visit, he interspersed the couple’s last name throughout the prayer and ended with a blessing: “And Father, please bless Mr. And Mrs. Butts and the whole Butts family. Amen.”
