Connected !

Presentation Prayer

•Bow heads...

•Repeat after me...

May the projection bulbshine brightly

and be our guiding light

Deliver us from boredom ...as we deliver those in our

classrooms

And lead us not into temptations ofimpure romantic thoughts

May the time pass quickly in hopes of being let go early

andmay we sleep peacefully

Keep us safe, and permit no jargon nor any large words to

harm us

On sick days, and healthy days

For this presentation is thepower and the glory

that will provide us with at least one good teaching tip

Until high-speed Internetaccess do us part.

Forever and ever
