Be A Pest!
Some of us older people remember the Marx Brothers. On a visit to New York, Harpo Marx was bombarded by requests from various charities to appear at their benefits. After one particularly persistent woman had called him a dozen times in two days, Harpo reluctantly agreed to appear at an event for her charity. She offered to personally escort him to the event. As they were leaving Harpo's hotel room, the telephone began to ring. "Don't you want to go back and answer it?" she asked. "Why bother?" Harpo replied wearily. "It's undoubtedly you again."

Prayer
Jesus, I am reminded of the story you once told about the widow who kept pestering a Judge until he finally gave in. I remember a priest friend of mine always saying: "Pray like a pest. Give Jesus no rest!" Well, Jesus, as you so well know I am truly a pest when it comes to praying to you. I am sure that when I pray you must be saying: “Oh, my God, what does Charlie want now?” Yes, Jesus, I know that I ask you for a lot, but I would like to think that most of the times I am praying on behalf of others. So, please, Jesus, forgive me for being a pest. Oh, and by the way, while I’m talking to you, there are a few things that I would like to ask you for, so today I am not going to say "Amen!"
