12. I'm no fan of public prayer, but I found this uplifting and necessary

Speaking as a Penn State alum.

Penn State is anything but an evangelical Christian school, and public prayer really isn't the norm. But based on the feedback from my friends who were in the stadium on Saturday, it hit exactly the right note. The people in the stands didn't know anything was going on with Sandusky, and felt horrified and betrayed.

At a time like this, a prayer like the one Coach Brown offered, which comforted and promoted hope, was most welcome.

Hope you and your tender gorge turned the channel quickly if it upset you that badly.
