A wing and a prayer

Alaska Airlines says it will no longer hand out prayer cards on its flights.

The inspirational cards used to come with meals, but when the meals stopped, the customers were left with only the cards, citing Psalms such as, “Give thanks to the Lord.”

Alaska says it’s getting rid of the cards because religion is personal.  Click here to read the details from the Associated Press.

I can’t believe it’s been handing them out this long. I, for one, would have second thoughts about flying on an airline that suggests I better pray.

Bouncing around in a turbulent sky is bound to inspire prayer as it is.  What else do we have to pray for besides a safe landing? Our luggage back? An on-time arrival? A lavatory that doesn’t stink up the entire cabin?

What do you pray for when you’re up in the air?
