				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://blog.newsok.com/religionandvalues/2013/05/14/faith-on-tap-tonight-may-14-edmond-bahai-center/bahaictr1/" rel="attachment wp-att-5542"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5542" alt="bahaictr[1]" src="http://blog.newsok.com/religionandvalues/files/2013/05/bahaictr1.jpg" width="400" height="275" /></a></p>
<p>EDMOND &#8212; &#8220;Five Years Too Many&#8221; is the theme of a special devotional program set for 7 tonight at the Edmond Baha&#8217;i Center, 321 Campbell Drive.</p>
<p>The gathering commemorates the fifth anniversary of the imprisonment of seven Baha&#8217;i leaders in Iran.</p>
<p>The program will focus on offering prayers for the well-being and release of all Baha&#8217;i prisoners in Iran who have been detained for years on false charges stemming from their belief in the Baha&#8217;i Faith.</p>
<p>Organizers said &#8220;Five Years Too Many&#8221; is the name of a global campaign that refers to the number of years the Baha&#8217;i leaders have been imprisoned on baseless charges and without a proper trial.</p>
<p>The service is open to the public. The center is just west of the University of Central Oklahoma clock tower.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>During my recent interview with Wanda Pratt, mom of  OKC Thunder star Kevin Durant, I couldn&#8217;t resist asking her what she thought of the NBA playoffs thus far.<a href="http://blog.newsok.com/religionandvalues/2013/05/13/kds-mom-talks-about-the-playoffs/wandapratt3/" rel="attachment wp-att-5529"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-5529" alt="WandaPratt3" src="http://blog.newsok.com/religionandvalues/files/2013/05/WandaPratt3.jpg" width="512" height="372" /></a></div>
<div>My story about her plans to speak at <a href="http://ariseministries.net/single-mothers/snt">Arise Ministries&#8217; Survive &#8216;N&#8217; Thrive Single Moms&#8217; Conference </a> ran on Sunday in the The Oklahoman&#8217;s Life section.</div>
<div>With the Thunder in the second round of the NBA playoffs, I asked Pratt if should would share her thoughts.</div>
<div>&#8220;Of course, I&#8217;m loving the playoffs,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Unfortunately, Russ (Westbrook)  is not playing because I think. He&#8217;s an integral part of the team so it&#8217;s kind of disheartening that he&#8217;s not playing.&#8221;</div>
<div>Pratt said she loved to see the team support its injured starting point guard.</div>
<div>&#8220;It&#8217;s really good to see that they have really rallied around him and what&#8217;s he&#8217;s dealing with and they&#8217;ve come together as a team even though they had this unfortunate incident to take place. I&#8217;m really proud of them all.&#8221;</div>
<div>And she had this to say about KD: &#8220;I spoke with him yesterday and I said to him &#8216;You&#8217;ve got to continue to do this and I could see where your game is really improving and you&#8217;re doing  a lot. You&#8217;re doing whatever the coach wants you to do.&#8217; I&#8217;m really proud of him for that.&#8221;</div>
<div>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</div>
<div>Here&#8217;s hoping Durant can keep it up tonight during Game 4 against the Memphis Grizzlies, and the rest of the Thunder team will have a better shooting game than the last one.</div>
