A Prayer for Amercia

This is from Jet over at God Dem! We do need some almighty assistance, don't we?

God, I need your help.

My country has people in it who feel that they can use your name, manipulate your teachings and misrepresent facts in order to influence faithful people for their own ends.

They are bent on changing a nation. They say it is to bring the nation closer to you, but they are dividing people of faith and turning them against each other.

I can't fix this, so I have to give it to you.

Please help me write the truth, care enough to be brave, reform what I can, protect people who need it and find a way to bridge the gaps between people.

Please help us all find the strengths we need to heal our nation and root out those who would destroy her. Help us make her what she should be ... a battered but victorious symbol of the human endeavor.

Thank you for listening, and for all the good stuff in my life. Tell Warren [Zevon] we miss him.
Love, Jet

Amen. Ditto from Millicent - and I pray that you do for us what we can't do for ourselves...and please give Grandmother a hug for me? I miss her.

I'll give this special consideration. I have been busy in meetings with my fallen angel, Satan, as a consultant; we have been busily planning a special place in Hell for Bush, Cheney, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld, and all the other members of their congregation. Don't worry... it won't go unnoticed.

Not quite sure how to follow up after God, but I wanted to thank you for referencing my blog and prayer. I'm glad you liked them.
