Ridicule us all you want harry. It only makes you look even smaller than life, but here goes... an excerpt from a close Facebook friend of mine:

Thoughts and Prayers...
I’ve said this to my friends and family during times of hardship and requested it during my own struggles, and now as in other times of national tragedy I see the post rejecting Thoughts and Prayers, so let me define what that means to me and what I hope it means to other people of faith.

Thoughts- reflection, I think about the person in need, the victims, the effect on the people left to try and make sense of something that doesn’t make sense. I think of my place in it all, am I part of the problem?, am I a hero or a villain?, what can I do better?

Prayers- I pray to the creator as Father who cry’s with us, to comfort and heal. I pray to a Powerful God to intervene, to move in me and convict my heart and push me into action. I pray for wisdom in what to say, and how to act in a way that is real and sometimes scary, past the worn out comfortable speak of tired talking points and into the realm of change and creation and love. Finally I pray that Not just myself but others are called into action, because love is not stagnant, love takes action, love MOVES!

So If I say thoughts and prayers, PLEASE, Please please understand what I am saying.

That's wonderful, but it does nothing for the dead and nothing for the
kids getting shot at school. As for god, well, so long as little kids
are dying of dtead diseases, bullets, and beatings, I'll wonder why
anyone believes.

It’s a personal act to bolster strength guidance peace and hope for those who practice it.

I don’t expect you to understand.

Sending Al Gore money to buy carbon credits is about as effective at
stopping global warming as sending Jim and Tammy money to buy shares
of Heritage USA to save your soul but the faithful still believed.
The difference is Jim and Tammy went to jail and Fat Albert is sitting
in an energy gobbling mansion in Tennessee cashing those energy credit
checks. People still believe him.
