> When he discovered we were both on the same page theologically

>     In a period of about a week, we prayed just twice.  Why?
> First, this pastor had already experienced a dozen or more prayer

>     As we began to talk briefly about what had just happened to

>     I waited until he began speaking a few short moments later.

> Now I leaped out of the swing as it was high in the air and I am

>
>     "what is He saying?" I asked curiously.

>     "He is saying, See?  I told you that you could do it."
