National Prayer Day
Today is national prayer day. It is sponsored by the federal government and its local coordinators are required to sign a statement of faith saying:

I believe that the Holy Bible is the inerrant Word of The Living God. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only One by which I can obtain salvation and have an ongoing relationship with God. I believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, his virgin birth, his sinless life, his miracles, the atoning work of his shed blood, his resurrection and ascension, his intercession and his coming return to power and glory. I believe that those who follow Jesus are family and there should be unity among all who claim his name. I agree that these statements are true in my life.

So for any of my readers who are Jewish, Pagan, or just think that some Bible passages might not be literally true, you aren't really invited. Except perhaps as potential converts to the one true way.

Anyhow I figured I'd use this opportunity to update an earlier post about a case study of the efficacy of prayer. The parents who choose to treat their 11 year old diabetic daughter with prayer instead of evidence based medicine will be charged with second-degree reckless homicide.
