I often think of people whom I rarely see as I pray and showing my age, I often equate prayer to the song Feivel sang in "American Tale" where it is acknowledged that no matter how far apart people may be they are looking at the same moon. I think that about prayers, further, if the God we are both praying to, really nothing can seperate us if we believe, not even death. But, I was thinking right now about how the time I wrote to a magazine I read and figured others were reading it too, so I felt absolutely compelled to ask for addresses so that I might write to them. The very funny thing about pen pals and God is that regardless of the evidence, you never know who you are actually talking to. Without saying anything in detail, last night I saw a movie where a guy was praying and someone interceeded and claimed to be the one who could give them whatever it was they wanted and it struck me how much this person wanted to know what drove the other guy to pray for it.
Like that, but less religious, I just heard about a 10 yr old girl write to and eventually meet someone who the press had decided to demonize and it made me wonder at how it was claimed not to be opinion, but this man was terrible. But, that did not convince me, so I thought of the story my dad told us about seeing terrible scenes of a fire and riots in Detroit so, he wanted to go see it. Um, dumb Idea, huh? Well, ends up he drove all over detroit and only found one small fire. He did find an actual fire, so that was true, but not an entire city burning down as the news made it appear.
I suspect that happens alot using the internet to communicate, it is as blind as praying. You have to decide what you believe.
