Prayer for the Week

I absolutely hate JesusCreed on BeliefNet. Can we please go back to the way it was? BeliefNet is incredibly un-userfriendly – there’s links all over the internet to things from JesusCreed that now no longer work, and can’t be found on beliefnet….
Why, oh why, did this happen anyway? I noticed Tony Jones moved his blogging over here too

Sorry to complain on a prayer post; probably didn’t think that through. I haven’t been able to find any explanation of why this move to beliefnet, and I just was thwarted again in attempting to follow a link from somewhere else to a JesusCreed page…sorry for the insensitivity, but I am frustrated by this move and wish it hadn’t happened.

Hi scot,
I agree with nate , it was more user friendly then. however, i came in to say that i like the prayers you post , espeacialy this one , it helped me to think of something good and and in prayer while i`m at work.
God bless you,
elias

Nate,
I’m not entirely sure what you are talking about, but I do know this: All my posts from the other blog are now in the Archives here and the link to them is above the first post everyday.

I think it is mildly ironic but entirely fitting that this prayer, which acknowledges that God’s “blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil”, appears on November 9, the seventieth anniversary of Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany, widely considered to mark the beginning of the Holocaust. If ever there were works of the devil that needed to be destroyed by the blessed Son of God or his representatives, those were the works. May we never forget.
Shalom.

I guess I’m mostly just curious why the move to beliefnet? It seems like a downgrade instead of an upgrade.
