He was a big black guy, driving a big white truck. I asked him my question. He was a confident guy but for one thing -- he didn't want to make eye contact. I just couldn't get him actually to look at me. But he spoke quickly, and with a forceful voice.
"Pray for me?" he said. Then he shrugged, "OK." Still no eye contact. So I told him about my project -- I just needed 10 seconds of his time to say a prayer for him. "10 seconds? Go." It was like he was challenging me to keep up my end of the bargain. He didn't bow his head along with me, but I prayed, and I prayed quickly.
When I was done, I thanked him. He just nodded. But he didn't look at me.
