Next Friday: * 's "Day of Prayer and Remembrance"

I'll be there, at the National Cathedral, with George and all the gang. For those who enjoyed my eyewitness account of his inaugural prayer meetin', (http://teenagebambam.blogspot.com/2005/01/i-witless-to-history.html) I'll try to be as vigilant this time around (though maybe a bit less snarky, due to the occasion)

1. One little lightening bolt!

Dear God, please, just one little bolt! He is using your name in vane and making Christians look bad. He has a lot of your people fooled. Time to smite the liar and thief. Please!

4. It's following up the "Weeks of Horror and Genocide"

I sure hope one day can make up for that.

5. I think we should each visit a church and make prayer requests...

...not only for the victims and refugees of Katrina, but for the Americans and Iraqis killed in the war, for the prisoners tortured and killed in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, and for so much more. With all the state-sanctioned killing going on, we could use a few blessings.

8. What are the ministers going to do, refuse us? Argue about Abu Ghraib?

And again, it can't hurt.

6. a day of shunning

Last night's Daily Show - Jon Stewart talked about bush calling for the national day of prayer. Then he asked (paraphrasing) 'Isn't a hurricane considered an Act of God? so - shouldn't it be a day of shunning?'

snark away, teenagebambam.

7. The irony is....

....that the National Cathedral is likely one of the most consistently liberal-leaning churches one is likely to find. Sermons are generally anti-war or pro-gay.
