National Prayer (zaibatsu.circumlunar.space), 03/24/2020
------------------------------------------------------------
(Arguments about the legitimacy of National Days of Prayer 
have been fought in the courts. I'm writing to talk about 
public reaction to them. My belief is that an open 
invitation to pray, extended to all faiths of any kind, is 
a good thing. Others disagree; to them, I'd request that 
they ignore me and not take offense, if possible.)

On 3/14 the POTUS declared a National Day of Prayer in 
relation to the coronavirus pandemic[1].

I didn't hear about it once, from any source public or 
private.

To be honest, I'm disappointed that I didn't hear about it 
from my own church. But, unless they're out reading the 
Federal Register, I suppose they may not have heard about it 
either.

I'm a praying sort of person. I pray for my leaders (in all 
parties, at all levels, of any variety) every day. I pray 
for friends who have struggles, including friends in pubnix 
space, and friends on gopher. I would have like to have 
joined with everyone of any background, in prayer.

I guess it's up to me to scan the register more frequently. 
Another script to write, hopefully they have some kind of 
feed!
