OK, I must confess, that I didn't think about this while running this morning. Of course, it hadn't been posted when I ran this morning. :)
This takes the cake. Check out this post on the Dallas Morning News' blog site: Too Busy to Pray?
The point of prayer is not that you ritualistically say your prayers every day. Nor is it the specific words that you pray. It is the relationship that is fostered between the individual and God; it is the submission of oneself to the Creator of the Universe; it is the acknowledgment of total dependency on the Sustainer of Life; it is the recognition of the need for the Author of Salvation. Paying someone else to do that for you doesn't cut it and certainly paying for a computer to do that for you won't gain you any grace. I don't think God would be impressed.
Taper week before the Ukrop's 10K. I ran 4.5 pretty easy miles (8:45 mpm or so) this morning. A short tempo run tomorrow morning. A couple more easy 4-milers on Wednesday and Thursday. Then we'll see what this old body can do on Saturday. I'll race with my wave and then loop back to the beginning to run/walk the course with my wife and daughter. Should be fun.
Run and pray well, y'all,
Bob

Wow! What a story! Good luck on the race!
That really is something. Convicting, too, though. God wants to hear from me!
I'm gonna stop blog-surfing now; there's something else I need to go do.
Who would have thought you could pay a computer to pray. Weird times we live in eh? Couldn't agree more with your thoughts.
