Why I Stopped Praying Before Eating

May 9, 2011 15 comments

TweetI tweeted a question last week asking people if they prayed before they ate and why. The question spawned out of my past experience and a sense the tides were shifting. I can’t remember the last time I prayed before a meal (outside of a group). It’s been at least two years, if not more. [...]
