The most famous prayer of Christians is now engraved in the eye of a needle.
“Our Heavenly Father! May the holiness of your name be respected,
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
forgive us our trespasses, as we also forgive those who trespass against us;
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen! »
Graham Short uses beta-blockers to make his works, and works at night to avoid vibrations caused by trucks on the road. He also undergoes Botox injections to control the movements of his eye nerves and muscles.
