Daily (Jay Hanna "DIzzy" Dean–style) Digital Life Litany for Protection, Direction and Stewardship

Lord,

you know I’ve thrown wild pitches

and said a few things

that weren’t exactly in the rulebook.

Out here on the digital diamond,

help me keep my eye on the ball.

When a message comes in

with a curve I don’t recognize—

weird address, funny spelling,

“act now or else”—

let me step off the mound

and think before I throw.

Protect me from bragging

about stuff that oughta stay

in the locker room—

account numbers, locations,

private conversations.

Some things you just don’t

broadcast from the bullpen.

Guard my friends in the stands—

the kids with their first phones,

the old‑timers trying to pay a bill online—

from getting picked off

by thieves in disguise.

Let me call the play,

wave off the bad pitch,

warn ’em when I see a steal coming.

And when I make an error—

click the wrong thing,

forward the wrong link,

swing at a bad pitch—

give me the grit

to own it, fix it,

and learn the lesson.

May my stewardship

of this digital ballpark

keep the game fun,

the fans safe,

and the box score

free of disasters

I could’ve prevented

by slowing down

just one more second.
