“ He asked me if I ever prayed-- and I lied.Then he asked me if I ever got an answer, or a sign that my prayer was heard-- and I told him the truth.Yeah... me neither.His hands sounded like leather as he slowly rubbed some warmth into his knotted knuckles.So what happens to all of those lost prayers?I didn't know if I should tell him the truth of what I really believed... or not.I put my hand on his slumping shoulder, smiled and told him the truth of what I believe, Don't worry... ”
