Nat paused quickly and bowed her head quietly with her hands folded before the plate.  It had been a long time since she had prayed.  After Jenny finished, she glanced over to reply.  "I remember praying with my parents.  But after they were killed, I guess I just stopped.  I didn't...."  She reached for the fork again.  "Didn't seem it had helped."  She shrugged and took a bite.  After chewing a bit and swallowing, she continued.  "I didn't let myself think about it.  Why do you pray?"  She knew why she had stopped, but wondered if she should start up again.
