Praying for the Sick

Once when I was ten, I had a huge project I had not yet done. It was starting to get near my bedtime, and the 2 page paper loomed in future. What would I do? Would I stay up until 10 to finish my work, or would I simply go to bed and deal with the reality that I did not do all I was supposed to?

I choose a third option. I went to sleep and prayed to God that I would be sick so that I could skip school the next day and do my homework.

I started throwing up a few hours later, took the day off, and finished my assignment.

12 years later, I lay in bed at 2 am and pray that I get healthy so I can have a hope of finishing this paper.

Funny how things change.
