Had to smile and reminisce some when I saw the above prayer.
Back when I worked on Base, I was putting together a presentation for our Admiral. As he reviewed the package, he directed me to include something in the brief and I answered “No problem sir, I can handle that.” The Admiral then said, “You know, J. I’ve noticed that you County people tend to use the word handle a lot. It’s a bit of a colloquialism because the better word to use is manage. Try to avoid saying handle.”
Ever since he told me that 30 some years ago, I have always thought of him every time I see or hear the word handle used.
Otis Redding wrote the following tune. With apologies to the Admiral, Hard to Manage just does sound right does it?
