Day 297: Longhorns

He was sitting on a bench in Old Town, a big young guy with a Texas Longhorns hat on his head. He looked up at me when I stopped to ask him my question. He had a look of humor and skepticism. He wasn't on board with the idea.

At first, he let out a reluctant, "whatever you want." And then he said, "Do I have to take part?" Well, I explained, he didn't have to if he didn't want to. I just wanted to pray for him. He gave me another really reluctant, "whatever you want." At that point, I told him I would pray for him as I walked away, because I didn't want to make him uncomfortable. "I'll just pray for the guy in the Longhorns hat," I said. And I did.
