just pray

so i'm rushing out of the apt this morning, which is pretty much the norm every morning, although i was real good last week and probably only had to rush out once. but i digress. anyway, as i'm getting my coat on i realize i don't know where my skull cap is. the one i usually wear is black and has the words "And 1" in white on the front which is a basketball term. technically it means score the basket and a foul has been called. i couldn't find it cuz i wore it on friday and it was pouring out and the hat got soaked and i put it somewhere in the apt to dry. but we got a small couch over the weekend so the apt got turned upside down a little, (we got the couch last minute at about 1 am). so i grab my other skull cap which is brown and happens to match nicely with what i'm wearing today. oh yeah, and it says, "Just Pray" in small white letters going across the front, maybe i'll take a pic of it and post it since i can't find a pic of it anywhere on the net. i got it at walmart of all places. i've had this hat for about two years and never really got any comments from other people about it. maybe a "i like your hat" once or twice or just looks like, "does that hat say what i think it says???". i think people give that look cuz at first they think it say "Just Do It", like the old nike slogan.

well when i went to get some lunch at quiznos the guy at the register asked me if i pray everyday. and my answer was that i try. and he replied "what's to try?, you gotta stay committed to it". i told him some times you don't feel worthy if maybe you've had a bad day or something. he said something to the effect of "you just gotta keep praying and it doesn't always have to be about the same thing". i just thought the exchange was cool. things like that make me say to myself that this life is a funny thing. also, judging the book by the cover, i woulda never expected to hear that from him. he just looks like a dude from da hood working at quiznos, and like prayer is low on the priority list. oops, gotta remember to stop judging based on appearances. i do need to make prayer a daily thing, even if i don't feel like it or if i feel like God doesn't want to hear from me. thanks for the reminder Lord.
