All Powerful Miss Keziah

My students sincerely like and respect me. But things went to a whole new level one day when Rony was closing the session in prayer. He said, “God, we ask that You would bless All Powerful Miss Keziah for what she does…”

Wow.

I felt pretty great about myself. All Powerful Miss Keziah! Now that’s a title I never thought I’d attain. A week later, Rony prayed again. “Thank You, God, for everything You’ve given us. And help us, All Powerful, to share what we’ve learned with others.”

Oh.

I never thought of All Powerful being a name that Rony uses to address God. I guess the whole thing makes more sense with a couple commas in Rony’s original prayer. “We ask that You bless, All Powerful, Miss Keziah for what she does…”

Bummer.
