Honestly I don't remember why I prayed, because I wasn't the one to pray that much especially something like not having to rake the leaves. It stuck with me though as something to contemplate. Normally the leaves blow in the wind from yard to yard, but my dad actually congratulated me on the great job, even though I didn't do anything. Strange thing there was leaves in other people's yards.
So what you're saying is God has time to blow the leaves out of your yard, but no time at all to help kidnap victims or starving children?
God: Oh, sounds like Scooby is praying to me! He doesn't want to rake the leaves. I know I'll blow them out of the yard, and then he can lie to his dad about doing the job himself. Hmmm... wait a minute, a little girl has been kidnapped and is about to be murdered? She's praying for my help... which do I help... which do I help.... I think I'll help Scooby.
