"We will lift up your whole family with prayer at this troubled time!!" [View all]

Somebody just wrote that on my cousin's facebook page (his father died).


Really? You and your prayers will lift them up? That's some powerful shit in your prayers. Of course, you haven't seen him in twenty years and probably don't know that he doesn't go to church anymore. Or that he's relieved his Dad had passed because the pain he suffered for the last four years is over. Oh well, go ahead with your super-duper prayers. But face it, those prayers aren't for him and his family, they are for your own satisfaction.



That's what I was thinking. Instead I just offered my support to my cousin.

Mini-rant over. Back to work.
