"It’s too bad prayer comes bundled in a package of 'spiritual disciplines.' Really, we should see prayer as a spiritual privilege. We don’t do it as a callisthenic exercise to gain points with God; we do it, because it is good for us in every way. I quote the author Roberta Bondi who says so many people worry about “doing it right.” Hey, if you’re praying, you’re doing it right."
Philip Yancey in Relevant interview.
I don't understand prayer. I'd expand, but I have to go to class.

i don't think anyone fully understands how prayer works, but we do it anyway. that wasn't much help, but it's all i got.
by the way, in response to one of your previous entries about the word "nother"-- it is not a word. the word "another" comes from "an other", so what you would actually say would just be "other", because you would take away the "an" instead of just the "a". so it would be "a whole other hour" which sounds weird, but i guess it's right. you probably already knew that, but oh well.
