Today is the National Day of Prayer across America.
I'm normally a big supporter of our governmental leaders. According to the Bible, we're called to support those in authority over us -- pray for them --- hold them up in vocations that must be monumentally stressful and where leadership calls are questioned daily. So they need our prayers and support.
That said, it was bad form to me for President Obama to recently cancel the National Day of Prayer festivities and ceremony scheduled for today. It has been held every year since 1952, when President Eisenhower began the practice.
Nevertheless, today at high noon many of us gathered around the Kenosha Courthouse downtown to pray for our nation, military, churches and citizens. It was especially gratifying to see that at least a third of the crowd were KFA-ers. Way to go everyone.
And be blessed.
