Bob, I do my praying for whom ever I pray for privately and think that is a good idea for everyone. There are many religions on this list, if the prayers all go to one place (someone else's note) fine. I just keep mine private and ignore everyone else's. I am Jewish, rarely feel offended except by people who try to convert me, that would be hard to do in cyberspace anyway. I think this thread should end. Nita Robert A. Fink, M.
