Host: What is the best form of prayer?

Rev. Joseph McCloskey: I have never met anyone whose best form of prayer isnt what they were doing. The best form of prayer is really -- it is your form of prayer. It is your way of saying to God I love you, I care about you, I need you, I am sorry God I did something I shouldnt have done. It is your willingness to treat someone as so special in your life that he is the very reason that you are alive.

  • How to Build a Website In this video, professional web developer Kevin Frey, of TransEffect LLC, goes over the basics of creating a simple web page using a "What you see is what you get" editor (in this case, Adobe DreamWeaver).
