Last fall we lost our power because of a freak snowstorm and had to stay at my daughter\u2019s house for a couple of days. One of those evenings I got home from work early. The house was empty. I ducked into a closet to pray. There\u2019s biblical precedence for praying in a closet (check Matthew 6:6), but mostly I do it because it\u2019s a quiet place free of distractions. With my cell phone off, my Bible open in my lap, I can let go of the busyness of the day.<\/p>\n
That evening I must have been pretty focused on my prayers because I didn\u2019t hear my son-in-law Tris come home. I had just closed my Bible and stood up when Tris opened the closet door. We both shouted and then burst out laughing. My family knows I will go to any lengths, even going into hiding, to seek God in prayer.<\/p>\n
