I was laying in bed last night when the news came on. A preacher in Dallas has decided to burn a Koran (Qur’an) on 9/11 in a ceremony with others. Honestly, I was appalled.

So what I'm about to say does not need to be interpreted as an all-out "this-is-my-take-on-prayer" statement, because it's not.
I haven't gotten into the 30 Days of Truth Challenge, but when they started popping up, I had to check them out. I looked up the complete list, saw Day 18, and got nervous. "What are your thoughts on gay marriage?" Goodness, what will be unleashed on the blogosphere with that question? Let me explain why this is not totally paranoid:
