here's my take on prayer...

one fine Tuesday night in November of 1999 my right eye got really itchy and sore. by Thursday it was the most painful thing i had ever felt. i honestly thought my eye was going to explode overnight on Wednesday. i was in a quarantined hospital room by dinner time on Thursday.

once the results came back (Pseudomonas) the specialist informed me that it normally took about 3 weeks to heal to the point of being allowed to return home. fine, whatever.

so my friend who had helped me get around and get checked that fine Thursday happened to be from a religious family, so when he told them about what happened they choose to say prayers for me during their next few masses and gatherings.

i was out of the hospital in 11 days.

maybe i just heal quick, maybe the hospital really needed my bed, or maybe having a bunch of people i don't even know exist hoping and praying that a friend of one of their own gets through a rough spot actually helped me get through a rough spot. either way, the doctor was impressed and quite pleased at my recovery.
