Palin's pastor urges flock to pray for the media

A little sermon about -- and for -- the messenger seemed to Pastor Larry Kroon an appropriate message on Sunday morning. ...

Kroon began services asking any reporters who might be in the crowd to respect church members' opportunity to worship.

"This isn't the place to be fishing for interviews," he said. ...

He urged churchgoers to "pray for the press." Kroon said the media are to be "cherished and respected," citing 19th century philosopher Alexander de Tocqueville's works describing a free press and freedom of religion as essential pillars of democracy.

11. Good for them. I need the prayers and they need the practice.

That's an old saying from the seminary ... :rofl:

Actually, I wouldn't care who they pray for if they'd just keep their religion out of everybody's politics.
