Prayers
A CNN journalist heard about a very old Jew who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time.

So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site. She watched him pray for 45 minutes. When he turned to leave, using a cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.

"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?"

"Howard Meyer," he replied.

"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall to pray?"

"For about 60 years."

"60 years! That 's amazing! What do you pray for?"

"I pray for peace between Christians, Jews, and Muslims. I pray for all the wars to stop. I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults, and to love their fellow man."

"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a fuckin' wall."
