My prayers are dry. Laura's prayers are dry. We can't seem to muster the words as we aren't quite sure what to say. To tell you the truth, we aren't quite sure how this whole prayer thing works.
But every night and at every meal Sophia reminds us to pray. Literally. She says, "wanna pray?" And so we do. We ask her to repeat after us and she gladly complies. Because she repeats what we say we keep it simple. Our nightly prayer with Sophia is, "God, help Ira." And so she repeats, "God, hep Iwa." "Amen." "Amen."
It might just be this little 23 month-old who teaches this 31 and 29 year-old how to pray again.

David, great song! Thanks for sharing your gifts.
AWESOME song!!! keep in touch! -Jay
Your transparency and authenticity is such an example to me. Please know that as you share your struggles it encourages others (and me) to be authentic and real with where I am at as well. Truth be told Sophia could teach me a thing or two about prayer. We love you guys so much and are ready to walk with you through dark and light days.
Tobin and I continue to pray for you guys. I'm with J-Wild on this one; your candor is contagious. Thank you for being an example of one who strives not for childish but child-like faith in the face of chaos. Blessings.
