ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
How often do we pray?

Advertiser Staff and News Services

Some do it on their knees. Others need beads. Some need a pew in a church, while for others the location makes no difference whatsoever. Whatever the form it takes, a joint survey by U.S. News and Beliefnet found these stats when it comes to prayer:
  • Sixty-four percent of the respondents (most of whom were Christian) said they pray more than once a day.
  • Most (56 percent) said they pray mostly for family members, and only 3.3 percent pray for strangers.
  • Some 79.4 percent said they pray most often at home.

FINAL WORD

David Letterman | on talk-show host Johnny Carson, who died Sunday:

"All of us who came after are pretenders. We will not see the likes of him again. He gave me a shot on his show and in doing so, he gave me a career. A night doesn't go by that I don't ask myself, 'What would Johnny have done?' ... He was the best, a star and a gentleman."
