City should sponsor day for helping other people
I read in your April 23 News & Record a wonderful article about a California town declaring “Random Acts of Kindness Week” and about what lots of kind deeds people did and could do.
How about our city and surrounding areas beginning Resurrection Day during Easter month and add some praying time?
We’ve read or heard about neighborhood sidewalk praying for people as you walk by their houses, so why don’t we pray for people as we drive by their houses and pray for other drivers and ourselves? It could cut down on road rage.
Then, we can have drive-by praying instead of drive-by shootings.

Ummmmm, while the *general* idea is thoughtful, I believe that is a huge can of worms that you don't want to open. Remember the clause about separation of church and state? It could be a very sticky situation.

Ahhh... so sweet. Maybe the little Easter basket carrying children can mingle at Urban Ministry during the boot-out hour. Just lock the dumpster and expect a local zebra zoo to open in nine months...

Obama's mandatory civil volunteer corps will suffice to help others, but praying won't be allowed.
