Balloonist prayer - like or dislike?

[Scoolover]

I hate it. To me, it is cheesy and silly sounding. Anyone else care enough to express an opinion on the balloonist prayer?

[Michael Toulson]

Don't care, Ive never used it.
I am not christian so to me i don't see the point in doing it but if people want to do it then
go ahead i wont argue your beliefs.

[Timmy]

i dont really understand it

[Dennis Morris]

I guess what bothers me is that it is like a universal non offensive pagen sounding planet worshipping prayer, no mention of Jesus Christ, and I don't know if my opinion is of the minority, but that is offensive to me and most real god fearing christians,
Praying without the name of Christ is of the devil, for know man comes to the father except thru the son, man that is bible 101.

Well that is my opinion and I make know apology for it...

[Timmy]

i cant agree more dennis

[Michael Toulson]

aw who are you attacking? me?

[Mark Harris]

It's a cheesy toast, dumping alcohol is not only childish but alcohol abuse. I prefer the Da Vinci quote. Much classier. The god that the Christians choose to worship has nothing to do with safe ballooning. Cameron Balloons USA, National Balloon LTD, Midwest Balloon Services, my skilled and happy ground crew, and my own aquired skills are to blame for my safe return.

[Dennis Hall]

Don't use it...don't have any strong opinions against it...did not want it on the balloon card either.

Our group decided to make out own and we call it the Black Sheep Prayer! We never use the regular one...

[Crew Chief Hair-Hat]

Mikes right, all our Black Sheep brothers and sisters around the country have raised a toast to:

"May the Gentle winds carry you to open pastures where the Black Sheep graze. May the warm sun caress your frozed Bum. May you fly so high and so well that the words BLACK SHEEP become legend. As we set you gently back again into the lovinh arms of our Squadron Family."

[Mark Pluta]

Amen

[Dan Saville]

I second that motion. Go Sheep !
