A friend and I committed to praying for some pretty nasty people one year, praying from our hearts, to see what might happen - if anything.

Many of the people we were praying for were suddenly subject to intense public scrutiny, received really bad press, and resigned or were removed from positions of power for blatant corruption.

Perhaps we ought to be praying for the leadership of our city, county, state, and the various agencies of the city, county and state who are charged with protecting us, who are failing miserably. Pray for them from our hearts.

If it works like it did before, it is like putting a spotlight on them... the spotlight of the Universe... it seems to have the ability to reveal those things they conceal, or want to conceal. Shall we give it a try? Let's start with Tim Sheldon.

I am tired of wasting my energy despising Tim Sheldon; I have never caused him one moment of inconvenience or lost sleep by despising him. I have, however, polluted my own being with the feelings I harbor toward him and toward those I think of as the "evildoers;" those people who are unwittingly paid by the taxpayer to work for the corporation.

For the new year, I am going to work on lighting these public servants up with the white light of the Universe, through my heart-felt prayers, to see if I can duplicate the results of my first experiment -- loving them out of my sight!
