Maybe It’s Better Up in the Mountains

“Mama, maybe we should do a prairie quest.”

“Pardon?”

“You know, a prairie quest.  It’s for things like owies, and sickness . . . ” (numbering off on his fingers)

“You mean a prayer request?”

“No, a prairie quest.  Like at school!  It’s for things like owies, and sickness . . .” (again, with the numbering).

“Oh, have you given a prairie quest?”

“Yes, for my cough.”

“And what happened?”

“It didn’t work.  I still cough.  But I can still give it again some other time!”

    Ha! That is awesome. It’s funny the things we church kids pick up. For years I thought there were 2 words to close a prayer: Amen and Allmen.
