A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, October 30th

Good Morning, God,

Lord, really, it was a slow news week. A lot of the headlines dealt with our inhumanity toward each other: murder, mayhem, nude pictures being sent by a teacher, child rape and abuse, and accusations of racial discriminations, still, in this day and age when by now we really ought to be color-blind.

A lot of these stories made the headlines because the government had really only one story going on: the mess up rolling out the computer software for signing up for Obama care. This, in itself, is really old news, though.

However, the new news is about the company and party who wrote the main software. Turns out, it was a company where a classmate of Michelle Obama was an important vice-president, and it was created on a no-bid contract.

Lord, we pray that our government will do its best to be transparent and circumspect of any and all its dealings. We must be able to trust those who govern us! May it be so.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
