"We're asking everyone who lives in metro area or has family in area to go to our prayer thread and sign on so we can pray for you."

Huh? You're only praying for those that go to that thread or your prayers don't go beyond the internet? What gives?

Brian Williams just noted interesting fact...shootings at gas stations have been at like, 4-5 different companies...Exxon, Sonoco, Mobile, etc.

A ME connection? This whole filling station thing is pretty bizaar.

No, we're praying for everyone in the metro area but so many people here have said they live in the area or have family there we wanted to be able to pray for them specifically.

For example,"my parents are there, my brother is there, they live in ___". It's so we can pray specifically.

Have you never heard of prayer chains, etc?
Anyway, THAT's what gives. :)

The more I thought about your post the more I thought, how on earth did you come up with such a question? I actually know lots of people involved in this, family and friends who live in the area and they are not on FR or have access to internet. And, gee, I'm still praying for them.
