Two men were in a car when they had to stop at a red signal light. The man at the wheel did not say anything.

The other man by his side, fretting and fuming, said, “The time we waste at these red lights – why, a man could write a book!”

The driver still said nothing.

Finally the man beside him said, “Didn’t you hear what I said?”

“No.”

“How come?”

“I was talking.”

“Whom were you talking to?”

“I was talking to God,” he said. “I’ve been making it a practice every time I get to a red light to pray for one of my friends. It is wonderful how many folks I have on my prayer list and how many I have time to pray for in this way.”
