siempresee him prayalways

When a new boy joined her middle school class, Sasha noticed something interesting. She would always see him pray. It wasn’t just before lunch or just before a test. It seemed no matter what was happening she could always look over and see him pray. At first she tried not to notice, but after a while she couldn’t stop thinking about it. A little chat with God was good, sure, but why was it that she would always see him praying?

When she told her sister about him she was met with disbelief. “What do you mean you always see him pray? You can’t always see him pray!”

“I do!” Sasha protested. “I always see him pray! Whenever I look over his hands are close together in his lap and he’s looking down! He does it in math class, in home room, and even during free time. I swear, no matter what I always see him pray!”

Her sister just laughed, but Sasha was determined to find out why she always saw him praying. The next day at lunch she walked over to his desk. As always, she could see him praying. He didn’t seem to be stopping any time soon, so she finally tapped him on the shoulder.

“Why are you always praying?”

The little boy laughed. “I’m not always praying! Look!” He showed her a cell phone in his hands. She had been wrong! It wasn’t that she would alwayssee him pray. Instead, whenever she looked over she would always see him texting!
