What Would You Do?

This week the school schedule has been really messed up because of 27 week testing so we have gone to lunch with different classes than we usually do. Yesterday I was walking toward the lunch room with a friend of mine I had known for more than a year. He had a lunch box so I asked him to take my Bible where we would be eating while I was in the lunch line. It turned out we were eating outside that day, so my friend left my Bible on one of the lunch tables inside and went outside with everyone else. Because of my A.D.D. I didn't realize he had put it there and walked outside to eat with him. When I started to pray for my food he didn't even acknowledge I was doing it, he just kept talking to the kid beside him. I ate my lunch and then went inside to get my Bible.

The next day I ate with a different class and asked a different person I had known for a little more than a month with a lunch box to hold my Bible while I was in line. When he found out we were eating outside he didn't leave it on the table, he took it outside with him. When I took my tray outside to eat with him he prayed with me.

Is it just me or was the friend I had known for more than a year afraid to hold a Bible or even pray, opposed to the other friend I had known for less than a couple months who did both of those things without hesitation. It never ceases to surprise me what people will do when it comes to putting faith in practice.
