Publisher's Synopsis
Knowing, smart, funny, irreverent, Bless This Mess is a chapbook of tongue-in-cheek petitions to help us through life's daily crises. Addressed to a higher power, here are prayers covering the earthly trials of dieting, family life, computers, ATMs, the assault of television commercials, traffic, exercise, waiting in line, and, of course, the rigors of looking good.
Here is the Picnic Benediction. Prayer Before Takeoff. Intercession for the Newly Divorced. There is support for when the computer crashes (again). Supplication for a blind date. An act of contrition for making personal phone calls at work. And deliverance from thine enemies, like the person in the express lane who has more than 10 items. Because the smaller the request, the more reasonable it seems that you should get your way. Because it can't hurt to ask.
