Dear God, it's me again... Maybe there is some sort of divine purpose for everything we all do? Maybe not, maybe. But this will be the seventh E3 that You've blessed me with the ability to attend. You've done so very much this year and it has been a crazy year, hasn't it? You know what I mean. Dear God.. I know I'm not the most faithful, loyal, trustworthy, respectful, or even nicest person out there. I really don't deserve these kinds of blessings, Lord. But I want to thank you on behalf of myself, my family, my extended family of my staff and co-workers, and those I just happen to be around. I want you to know that I want you to gaurd and guide everyone at this years E3 and keep everyone safe. It's a dangerous world.. it really.. really is. There's just so much these days that we're aware of. But that's not what I want protection from.. that's not what I need You for. Dear God.. I need help to keep myself true to myself and those I love. I've fallen off the straight and narrow so many times.. I don't know why I bother getting back on it again. Just grant me strength Lord. I'm gonna need it.. we're all going to need it. Please protect everyone on their flights, rides, and drives to the show. Protect everyone during the show. Keep the staff of the show safe, and please protect everyone Lord.
Thank You for the opportunity You have given us this year and please let everything go according to Your great plans. Let everything we do at this show somehow edify You and be noble in Your eyes. Maybe that seems a bit much; but God.. we're going into this place one more time.. and we all need Your help. Please protect our families while we are away from them in this journalistic battlefield. And as for the real battlefields.. please bless and gaurd all of our troops who are fighting in wars and battles they don't understand in order to protect the freedoms that we don't understand or fully appreciate. Please bless the Glass family for letting the majority of our staff stay with them again this year, and please protect and gaurd Adam as he ventures into his own place apart from the Glass residence. Please protect, bless, and gaurd those who won't be able to attend this year.. like Sarah, Stephen, Akemi, and Harold. I love all of my staff like family.. and I hope that someday I could have them all go.. together. But for now, keep them safe, Lord. Please keep them safe. Please protect and gaurd all the other websites, and press who will be there at the show. Guide their hearts and minds toward factual reporting and peaceful debate. Just protect and watch over everything and everyone in this upcoming week. I'm weak... I'm temptable... I know.. I can't really be so perfect and I know I'm not. Oh, God.. please keep my focus sharp and my actions accurate. I've made some really stupid choices and said a lot of hateful, stupid things this year. Please just release those from me. Take those mistakes. Take that mistake. Just take it and never let it appear again. Bury it all, burn it all, take it all away. Let this E3 be safe, and amazing for everyone.
Make this the best E3 for my staff and I. Make this a bright start to something amazing. That's all I ask, Lord.. that's all we need. Thank You so very, very, very, very, very much for everything You have done this year and continue to just fill our lives with Your subtle, insufferable, indestructible, and eternal grace. For everyone and I... thank You!
Forever and ever Amen,
Philip Wesley.
