It's true. My friends have always joked that because I'm such a troublemaker, you have kept my name permanently on the prayer list not just once, but twice -- just to be sure. I couldn't really deny that to be true, especially considering Holly and I would always point out the offenses that would automatically place one of us on that prayer list over the other sibling. As I've grown older, I find it comforting to think I might have had an official piece of real estate on such an important list to both my mother and grandmother. Even if I wasn't written formally on the list, I'm certain I was in both sets of prayers.
