Possibly a cool story bro.....but it really was pretty cool

My daughter is in high school biology and has to find a caterpiller and gets bonus points for any extras...must stay alive. After dinner and the Reds game we are all bored and decide to go try and find a caterpillar. We have little idea where to look and I drive to a nearby bike path along a creek bed. We walk, and walk, and walk and then look around trees, milk weed, plants etc. After nearly and hour of searching to no avail whatsoever and on our way back towards the car while still checking in places...my 7 year old son (who is one of the most innocent, pure, creative well-rounded kids you'll meet) stops on the walking path, drops to his knees and starts to pray....as he gets through about 10 words I start to make fun of him and before I could finish my insult my daughter finds a caterpiller.....it was unbelievable. Especially since my kid has never been to Sunday school or church.

I then dropped down to my knees and asked for a million dollars......nothing yet.

I was going to make a joke about the Catholic church and being an altar boy, but then you said he's never been to church. Oh well. :D

that's all they have


soory to broaden the direction of this particular forum

The only thing weak about the story was that it involved homework, a 7 year old and an immediatley answered prayer.....I'm sorry that some of you aren't to the point in your lives where you can appreciate anything of value. I guarantee if you weren't so tough and cool and had been there you would've shook your head in disbelief and smiled......but again I apologize for the weak story that makes everyone gay for reading it.

Great story Ironman!!!... and thanks for sharing it, even if it did open you up to sophomore-ish ridicule. Some day they will have kids and want to share their stories too.

Oh Shit! I can't believe I actually said OC posters may actually reproduce! THAT is a scary thought! :p

Ironman92 I think one aspect of your story is that sometimes little things that happen in this world are signal of the future, a direction sign kinda... (Especially since my kid has never been to Sunday school or church.) In a small way you have seen the power of pray ...maybe you should go to Church ...

As for those on here that assume they are tough and cool because that can make rude comments without the fear of getting the shit beat out of them .... They are nothing to know one and will have very little later in life... Again small signs of our future are presented to us in our every day life, we just have to understand and be aware of what is going on around us... Then react to those signs and direction that are presented.

I once was selling our house (For Sale by Owner) to get a bigger home (we had already bought and the closing was to weeks away). We took a small vacation, came home ..I did not put the sign out the next day. My 9 year old daughter said, Dad if you pray to sell the house and God know it, how are those who don’t know God suppose to know it.
I put out the sign that night. I went to work my wife calls me at noon tells me I have to come home ASAP. Why? Because there is a lady in our living room who want to buy our home. I come home (30 minute drive) this lady what to buy our home for the asking price, signed to contract, close the deal in one week (she had cash from her father estate) and was able to close the deal on our bigger home the following week… Pray works

I thought it was a cool story, but then again I have a 7 year old, and am pretty spiritual myself, oh, and I'm not a jerk (usually) :).

I think the story was pretty cool until the insinuation that this somehow proves that God or prayer works. People pray a lot for a lot of stuff, but we never hear about the times they don't get anything, rather only the once in awhile it actually happens. Coincidence? Yes, coincidence.

That was a pretty cool story Ironman. There have been a few times in my life where I've been stressed about something and said a prayer and they came to a quick resolution. I've never had my prayers answered that quick, though. LOL.

I don't think he insinuated that prayer working is a fact. He even made fun of his kick then mockingly prayed for a million dollars. I think

Yeah, I gotta agree with jmog here! He never in fact attributed the actual find to the prayer and the fact his son has never been to church or Sunday school, at least to me, is an indication that he's not that type to think that of all the prayers to be answered, help with home work would be a priority!

And some people are just plain ignorant and to think that the first one to post such a reply is a high school teacher!

I'm not regilious but this story was kinda cool it also made me think of a saying I always heard in high school.

"As long as there are tests, there will always be prayer in school." I guess this could just go for homework as well.
