The Great Catching Away part three

Ray was in for yet another surprise, when he discovered that his former best friend, Jason, was also a roller skating waiter at Rene's! Because Jason's family relied upon their oldest eighteen years old son paying them his room and board; he didn't want to cause Ray any trouble. After all didn't Ray just save his life by rescuing him from a deranged domestic pro Hamas terrorist? She hit him on the side of his head with a baseball bat; because she wrongfully believed he was still a 'pro Jewish, and pro Israel Christian Zionists just like his former best friend Ray. His head still hurt like blue blazes but he was still able to roller skate and wait on his customers. What he didn't realize it was all because Ray was praying for him. When suddenly all of his headache pain had vanished. Because Ray was silently praying in his supernatural prayer language aka 'speaking in tongues.' Jason also did not come from a Christian household and their two families were also the very best of friends. "Birds of a feather flock together," also applied to both Christians and also non Christians. Rene's provided indoor service for their waiters, and their cooks. They no longer employed any cashiers because they weren't necessary. Their servers also served as their cashiers. Jason decided to sit next to Ray during their lunch break all of the employees of Rene's had a prepaid lunch break provided for them. Jason watched as Ray bowed his head in silent prayer before eating his lunch. "Ray can I ask you a single question?" Jason asked him "Shoot," Ray replied. "Did you pray for me while we were working?" Jason pondered. "Yes, Jason I did pray for your healing in my supernatural prayer language." Jason calmly replied. "Why first first you save my life and I make fun of you. And next you prayed for me and I'm healed?" Jason carefully questioned him. "Because, my Lord Jesus Christ told me to and also because I wanted too because you needed His help. And I needed His help in totally forgiving you when I really didn't want to." Ray truthfully answered Jason. "But wait a minute before you answer me; I also prayed for you because I love you and we used to be best friends." Ray prayerfully concluded. "How can you possibly forgive me after everything I just put you through?" Jason pleaded with him but their lunch break had just ended and they had to return back to work. Later they went home.
