re: effectiveness of prayers

Don't work often enough, but will continue none the less. Sure glad I don't believe as does Rarebird:

Dust In The Wind - Kanas

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the momen't gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind, ohh

Now, don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind

I remain holding onto my faith, without being sure of faith in what or who exactly, but Stan Jones said it well.

Ghost Riders in the Sky

An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day,
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw,
A-plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, ghost herd in the sky.

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were
made of steel, Their horns were black and shiny and their hot
breath he could feel, A bolt of fear shot through him as he
looked up in the sky, for he saw the riders comin' hard and he
heard their mournful cry.

Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, ghost riders in the sky.

Their faces were gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all
soaked with sweat,
They're riding hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet,
For they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky,
for they've got to catch the devil's herd, as they ride on hear them cry.
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, ghost riders in the sky.

The cowpokes rode on past him and he heard one call his name,
If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on a range,
Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride,
A-trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies.

Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, ghost riders in the sky.

There is something more, something much much more. No, I don't understand it, but of It I've caught but a glimspe and yet I respect, love, and --- yes --- fear.

Those without fear simply haven't spoken with those riders.
