Do you remember the first time you prayed really hard for something?

    I very clearly remember my Mam telling me that if you prayed to God hard enough and really needed something, he would answer that prayer.

    Isn't it a little odd that people still say things like this to kids, when almost all of their own experiences in life have shown it to be untrue?

    What kind of a God would answer the prayer of a child asking for their football team to win, but ignore the tens of thousands of prayers from Children in Haiti, wanting only to live and be fed?

    Be at peace,

    One abiding memory I have of praying as a child was when I was about 8 years old and one christmas eve just after we had our bath and getting ready for bed, I stubbed my toe on the floor and uttered an explicatives of sort , probably something as innocent as ' Damm ' so my slightly older sister told me to kneel and we both prayed as hard as possible for forgiveness

    Well I wasn't taking any chances on santa not coming that evening and sure enough he did :)

    Better team went thru in the end. It'd have been hilarious tho if we had scraped a draw and got to the semi-finals just for drawing 5 games in awful fashion. As it was I think we were making ourselves more & more unpopular with the world of football with each subsequent result. :)

    Yea, when the mother-in-law turned up for the first time!

    She's so ugly a troll would be scared!
    She's so humped, the state want to use her as a bridge!
    She so tight, she would put Fagin to shame!
