We're doing what every other parish is doing: praying. Ain't doin' much good is it?

Hmmm.

...For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much. James 5.16

Could it be a denial of grace as a chastisement because of the rampant faithlessness and apostasy of our clergy and laity? God has a history of doing this kind of thing you know. Forty years in the desert comes to mind.

Bingo. Right on. Of course. Bump.

Mershon, why don't you and murphE keep on baiting sinkspur, and when he finally loses his temper and comes back at you, I can boot all three of you?

KNOCK IT OFF!
