Traffic jams are bad, but what’s next could be worse

Gaso-lunacy!

It’s a dreary Friday afternoon, raining. I’m in the company van headed for my last delivery, trying to make my way through the nightmare intersection at South Franklin and Cambria streets in Christiansburg. The line I’m in stretches so far I can’t even see the red light. I begin to think of traffic and gas prices.

I had read an article about a Christian organization called Pray Live that convened a group of clergy around a Washington, D.C., gas station. In a press release, the group posited that many people “are overlooking the power of prayer when it comes to resolving this energy crisis.”

Not issued was how the group concluded that the Almighty would necessarily support a move to make gasoline more affordable and thus spur our profligate consumption.
