KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: As I go to bed ready to close my eyes in sleep, I think of all the things I wish I had not said, had not done. I offer those to you with sorrow, and pray that you will wrap them in your blanket of forgiveness. Thank you for this day, for all that has been done, and even for all that has been left undone. Let me rest now in your peace. Amen.

Keith, what's the date of this quote? Was this from the "young" Ali or the "old" Ali? This man's perspective on many things changed dramatically as his career progressed. (And as America progressed!) I'd be interested to know when he came to this realization.
That was the young Ali, circa 1965!
Man. I have so much admiration for Muhammad Ali, it's a crying shame that I will never get the opportunity to express face-to-face.
As much as an important figure in the civil rights movement, if you ask me.
