Payton:       My text said: . . . . prayer, . .  what does that mean?

 

Jamie:        Well . . . . prayer is . . . like . . . .  kinda . . .

 

Morgan:      Let me explain . . . Prayer is like when you . . kinda . . . like . . . pray.

 

Tyler:        Thanks for clearing that up Morgan!

 

Morgan:      Let me put it this way . . .  Praying is like when you talk to the big guy.

 

VOG:        I beg your pardon! . . .  The big guy?

 

all look around to see where the talking came from

 

Payton:       That likely was young Willy Norton, he’s always got something to say.

 

Morgan:      Well, like I say . . . when I really, really need some stuff, and if all else fails, I sometimes go and like . . .  pray.

 

VOG:        When all else fails? . . . Am I second choice?

 

Payton:       Willy will you cut that out?

 

Tyler:        I gotta admit, this praying thing, I don’t know much. . . . So, for this praying for stuff . . . where do you go, what do you do?

 

Morgan:      Well, seems like you get down on your knees kinda.

 

Payton:       Why for on your knees, is that important? . . . I mean I get sore knees real easy, wouldn’t it be OK if a fella was to sit on a comfy chair?

 

Morgan:      Not sure exactly but from what I’ve seen it’s best to get down on your knees.

 

Jamie:        OK, s’pose you get down on your knees . . . what then?

 

Morgan:      Well seems like you . . fold your hands . . (folds hands in prayer), . . like this.

 

Payton, gets on knees, folds hands:  
I can do this, anything else we should be doing?

 

Morgan:      Well be sure not to smile or tell jokes or such when you are praying.

 

Tyler:        OK before I get on my knees, fold hands, no smile, no jokes, where do I go pray?

 

Morgan:      Well you can go like anywhere . .  so long as its somewhere your friends can’t see you. . .  I mean they might think you’ve lost it if you are there in the middle of nowhere, on your knees, hands folded, blank look on your face. . . . Like this . .

 

Stacy comes onstage, sees Morgan and all others get down on knees, hands folded

 

Stacy:        Hey Morgan . .  I didn’t realize you guys were praying kind of people.

 

Morgan, up quickly, embarrassed:  
I wasn’t really like . .  I mean I was just showing everyone how . .

 

Stacy:        I think that’s really cool, I enjoy my time talking to God as well and . .

 

Payton:       Stacy, you trying to tell us you, like,  . .  can talk to God?

 

Stacy:        Of course, and obviously you guys do as well, on your knees and all.

 

Jamie:        Fascinating Stacy, so whenever you want something you just go ahead and get on your knees and ask the big guy upstairs to go get it for you?

 

VOG:        I am not the big guy upstairs!

 

Payton:       Don’t pay attention, that was likely Willie Norton again.

 

Stacy:        No, that was God.

 

all react in shock

 

Tyler:        You trying to tell us that there was . . .

 

Morgan:      The big guy?

 

VOG:        And I am not to be referred to as the  . . . big guy!

 

Morgan:      Ssssssorry, your . .  your . .  Godness!

 

Jamie:        Hey I can see where this praying thing could be flat out awesome, just get down on the floor here and ask God for all the things we want.

 

Payton:       Me too, I tell you, sign me up!
