National Day of Prayer

President Obama will not be participating in the National Day of Prayer, something that former President Bush always recognized, but is anybody really surprised about this taking into account Obama's record? Today is known as a National Day of Prayer. Let us focus even harder today on prayer. Perhaps it would be a good idea to follow the advice of Archbishop Chaput and set aside one night a week as a night of prayer. As much time as we spend watching tv, surfing the internet, playing with our electronic gadgets, we could be served well to set all those things aside for just one night a week and focus on bible study and prayer. I think this is a great idea. Start today, the National Day of Prayer.
