Serenity Prayer

Alexis 2022-03-21 09:01:46

God grant me the serenity; my Lord grants me serenity to accept the things I cannot change; grant me the courage to change the things I can; give me the courage to change the things I can change; and wisdom to know the difference. Give my wise mind the difference between the two. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; accepting the world as it is, like the Lord, not my appendage; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; trusting that He will make justice In the world, as long as I submit to his will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him; I firmly believe that in this life I will share the gospel with him. Forever in the next. Amen. Amen.

Mr. Brooks quotes

  • Mr. Earl Brooks: Finding someone you think would be fun to kill is a bit like, well it's a bit like falling in love. You meet a lot of candidates, and you like some of them, and they're nice. But they're not right. And that special one comes along, and your heart beats faster, and you know that's the one.

  • Marshall: She did it, didn't she?

    Mr. Earl Brooks: Yeah. It'll take the cops a week to ten days to put their case together, and then... and then they will come back and arrest her.

    Marshall: What are you going to do?

    [Earl breaks down and cries, while Marshall hugs him]

    Mr. Earl Brooks: Oh, God. Oh, God. I was afraid of this since before she was born. She has... she has what I have.

    Marshall: Yes, she does. But you were always smart about it. She was stupid. She did it because she got off - okay, I understand. She's in it for fun - okay, I understand. But why didn't she think it through? A hatchet? And she left it there.
