That's very kind, Billy. I think it's just that I've a tendency to try to approach the Lord as if I could see Him. We'd be very personal in our requests if we could see Him standing in front of us, gazing into our faces with His kind brown eyes; or if we could sit across the coffee table from Him, or walking along the street, and asking His help like the people of the time could. That's why I don't go in for formal prayers much, because if Jesus and I were face to face, I'd be speaking naturally. It's is also knowing, as we all do, that each person has a whole world of awareness and if they're hurting it is a global thing for them; and besides, I've been through a lot in my life too, as many of us have. That's all it is.
