Guidelines For Living con Harold Sala

David says that as a boy he noticed that when his mother prayed, she never said, "Amen" at the end of her prayers. When he went to church and the pastor prayed, he always finished with a flourish and a hearty, "Amen". That, of course, was the sign that the prayer was ended and it was time to head for the door or whatever. When others prayed they always signed off with an "Amen" as a kind of spiritual radio station break signaling the conclusion of the whole matter. But not his mother, and it bothered David.
