During Prayer

Yesterday, my family and I were reminded of an incident that happened a few years ago. One of our neighbors had a little boy that went to the school my mom worked at, and one Sunday night we took him to church with us. At the end of the service we all stood to pray and be dismissed. When every head was bowed and the room was completely silent, this little boy looked up at my dad and said, " Why is everybody staring at the ground?" very loudly. In the background you could hear many people begin to snicker because here we were preparing our hearts to pray, when the silence was broken by young boy wanting to know what was going on.
