No X@$#!?* Allowed
I’m going away for the weekend. We have a vacation place in West Palm Beach—there’s nowhere you’d rather be than Florida in July! My hubby, David and I are looking forward to a get-away. We’ll relax, enjoy some restaurants, sit by the pool and do something together separately on Saturday. He’ll go play golf and I’ll go to my on a summer day. We fly into Palm Beach International. It’s still a relatively small airport by today’s standards. There’s a spot near the escalator that takes you to the baggage claim where you’ll get a welcoming smile from one of the many Floridian senior citizens.

She has gray-permed hair, a flowered dress (always a flowered dress), sensible shoes and a sign that says “I’ll Pray for You.”  What a nice offer! She has no open guitar case, she’s not asking for money, she just wants you to take a leaflet. The one I got says; “Would You Like to Know the Truth?” are very active evangelists.

Me and , have been visiting chat rooms and forums to get ideas for a new feature we’re looking to add to the Prayables website. We’re building an online sacred space for women of different faiths to come together prayer. I found myself on . Here is a greeting taken directly from their site under Chat Room Rules: Read next feature >
