I like to think that G-d helps those that help themselves. Nicely written :)

Thank you, Avery. Personally, I think prayer is somewhat overrated, but tell anyone, okay?

I'm afraid I'm a Thomas on all this prayer business. Shall I wait for the lightening to strike, or just recant now????

Then again, depends on the quality of the question(s)... Some folks still think G-d is a 'year-round Santa Claus.' :) gw
