Hi!
My name is Thomas Davenport, and i'm a third-year history student.
I don't know about you, but because my life has been so blessed in recent
months with an abundance of activity--most manditory, but some just for
fun--i've been feeling more and more disillusioned with the amount i've
done to get involved in rocking the upcoming vote. At one point, i even
made extensive plans to host a website but did not bring them to fruition,
so i've become down-right pessimistic, and i think that it is having an
ill effect on our tenuous national fate currently hanging in the balance.
However, i take heart for i am also a young person of the spirit, and so
it occured to me that a way to unburden myself of this guilt while
simultaneously doing one of the most potent things i possibly could for
the fate of the nation is to pray about the upcoming election. I
absolutely feel that, in the spirit, as in politics, there is strength in
numbers, so i am compelled to sound this call to the arms of peace. Who's
with me?
Please email if interested, and we'll get started right away. I am
picturing meeting in an unoccupied location on campus (TBA) twice a week
and coming together to pray for, say, 15 minutes, once we get underway?
I myself am equally comfortable with silent and extemporaneous prayer, but
i believe in its healing powers, no matter what the vehicle, and what this
nation needs right now is just that--healing! The other issues will be
resolved as soon as we open the lines of communication. Let's join hands
for our future and future generations and focus our intentions on getting
the best man into office for universal prosperity, whoever that may be!
I can feel our strength mounting already! Write back soon!
Peace be with you,
Thomas Davenport

PS I feel it goes without saying that this call to prayer is completely
non-sectarian. All individuals who have experienced the wonder of prayer,
all believers in a brighter tommorrow, are emplored to respond, and, in
this way, perhaps we can not only heal the nation on the grand scale but
right here at CMU as we knit together as a community of hope.
