Blind Obedience While sitting in church on Sunday going through the same motions of every Sunday‚ my son leans over to ask‚ "Why do we have to stand up for this prayer?" My response "because we are supposed to". Reading "The Children ’s Story" by James Clavell‚ made me think a little more about this question that I had no answer for.
