	One night as a man was going to bed, he stopped by his
	daughter's bedroom and heard her saying her prayer,kneeling
	by the bedside. As she finished her prayer, he heard her
	say "And God bless Grandpa". Curious as to why she was praying
	for Grandpa, he opened the door and asked her "How come you
	only prayed for Grandpa?" and to this the little girl replied,
	"I only like to pray for one person at a time". Not thinking any
	more of it, the father went to bed. When he woke the next morning,
        he found out that during the evening, Grandpa had passed away.
        He was so shocked that he never even thought of what his daughter
	had said the night before. That night as he was going to bed, he
	stopped to listen to his daughter's prayer again. This time, at the
	end of the prayer, she said, "And God bless Grandma". He thought that
	was kind of cute that she would only pray for one person
	at a time, and went to sleep.
	     Sure enough, the next morning, when he awoke, he
	found that during the night, Grandma had passed away.
	Immediately the thought came to his mind that his daughter
	was praying for people and they were dying!
	     That evening, he listened in on her prayer again, and 
	this time, at the end of her prayer, she said " And God 
	bless Daddy", at which point Daddy became very nervous and 
	frightened. He was so scared that he couldn't go to sleep
	at all that night.  When the sun came up, he was very
	much relieved, he was sure what his daughter said in her
	prayers was only coincidence, and as he went out to go
	to work that morning he looked in the driveway and saw
	the milkman lying there dead....
