	Mike Andrews gives an example of God answering prayers. I would
like to offer my own.

	A very close friend of mine's parents just went through a traumatic
divorce. He prayed that both of them would continue their lives hereafter in
a peaceful way, and find happiness in their separation. (He had been praying
for them not to separate and then not to divorce for some time previous to
this.) He also prayed that additional tragedy not befall their family.
What has followed has been a bitter custody fight for the one child still
living with his parents, severe problems with his sister's pregnancy, and his
younger brother was in a severe accident owing to drinking while driving, and
must (at the order of a judge) quit school in order to enter an alcohol
rehabilitation program. (He HAD been a model student for many years.)

	This is how God answers prayers.

Be well,
