The Easy Button

I'm a big fan of prayer. I do it all the time. I like to pray. Prayers are beautiful but I am not a big fan of email chain prayers that have flashing pictures of angels and end with "Now make a wish, spin around 3 times and email this to 412 people and your prayer will come true". I'm not a theologian, but I can tell you right now, that ain't how it works. Come on people - there's really no Staples Easy Button! I admit that sometimes the prayers that are sent are very lovely. If they are so lovely that I feel compelled to share them, I copy and paste the prayer, just the prayer, into a new email and send it to those I think might appreciate it. But I'm here to tell you that I do not, and will not, pass on a stupid, superstitious, pagan "don't break the chain" prayer email and I don't care who sends it to me. Uh, OK - I'm done now.
