Thoughts on Prayers purpose.

     For this blog I will be using the pseudonym Michael Vegas. It sounds fun. I have been a civics nerd since seeing the "Bill Becomes Law" cartoon on Schoolhouse Rock. My passion for civics was cemented when I earned a greater than 100% grade in 8th Grade American Civics. I am a college educated industrial operations professional with over a decade of international trade experience. My pastime dreaming of public office and debating society has become a source of anger and resentment. I hope this blog will be a positive outlet for my passion.

     I have no professional writing experience and Thoughts on Prayer will be my first writing for public consumption. I hope to improve over time, but in light of 2 mass shootings in 24 hours, I am jumping in. It is my sincere desire to provoke genuine dialog on controversial issues. Topics that typically result in shields up, raised voices, and broken friendships. Can we peel back the layers of the onion to find common ground and compassionate solutions?
