KYLE
You’re listening to the All-new Digital
Family-friendly Christian Radio Network K-REV.
And today Ann is interviewing
folks on the street about prayer.
What K-REVelation do people have about prayer?
Ann, are you ready to go?
ANN
We are ready!
Good morning Kyle.
KYLE
God’s morning to you too!
ANN
Thank you.
KYLE
Whatcha got for our K-REV listeners today?
ANN
I’m on the street interviewing Bob and Marcia
about prayer. Thanks Bob and
Marcia for agreeing to go on the air with us.
MARCIA
Oh, tank you so much Ann fer askin’ us.
BOB
I don’t mind bein’ here, but we gotta hurry it
up. I got work to do.
ANN
This won’t take long.
Bob, do you pray?
BOB
Of course I pray—who wouldn’t pray?
Da way dese guys drive aroun’ here.
ANN
Thanks Bob.
Marcia, how about you—do you pray?
MARCIA
Oh yes, all-da-time.
I pray fer Bob a lot of the time.
BOB
(mocking Marcia)
I pray fer Bob a lot of the time,
whaddya mean by that?
MARCIA
I just do pray, is all.
ANN
On to the next question!
Marcia, when you pray, do you pray out loud?
For example, if we were to pray right now, would you pray aloud, or
more whisper to yourself?
MARCIA
Ohhhh, I always pray quietly, it’s the
Christian way.
ANN
How about you, Bob?
Do you pray out loud?
BOB
Unlike Marcia here, I talk with God out loud
all the time, see… I see it
dis way, if I talk out loud to Him, then I hearz it, and I know He hearz
it, too. A lot of the time I
even walk around conversin’ wit Him.
MARCIA
Ohhhh Bob, that is wonderful.
ANN
Okay , this is really good.
Marcia, what do you normally pray for when you pray?
MARCIA
I pray da Lord bless Bob and our entire
family wit good health an’ protection, an’ for our finances, too.
ANN
Thanks Marcia.
And you, Bob? What do
you pray for?
BOB
I pray we can get dis interview done soon—hey,
I’m just razzin’ ya, Ann.
Seriously, though, I pray fer Joette our daughter all-da-time.
She’s been through a lot in her young life.
MARCIA
Ohhhh Bob, that is wonderful.
BOB
(mocking Marcia)
Ohhhh Bob, that is wonderful. Of
course it’s wonderful—
ANN
Okay then, on to the next question!
Marcia, if you met someone on the street who needed someone to
pray for them, would you do it right then, or go home and pray about it?
MARCIA
I’d prob-ly write it down, take it home an’
pray.
ANN
And you, Bob?
If you met someone on the street who needed someone to pray for
them, would you do it right then, or—
BOB
I’d pray fer dem right dare.
Lemme give you an example.
MARCIA
Bob, remember we’re on da radio dare?
BOB
Okay, before I was RUDELY interrupted:
Ann, let’s say you’re da lady on the street who walks up to me and
sez, (getting louder, and Bob
gently lays one hand on Ann’s shoulder) “I don’t need no money or nuttin’
like dat, sir, but I sees you’re a man of faith.
Could you pray fer me?
I need a job to pay for my medical billz.”
See, I’d be like the Lord an’ pray fer her right dare.
(getting even louder) Like
dis, “Father, in Your Name Jesus, I pray for Ann—lead her to where you
want her to be an’ bless her wit a job.
And Lord—”
OFFICER
(interrupts Bob)
Excuse me, ma’am, is everything okay here?
Is this man hurting you
ANN
Officer, he’s not hurting me, he’s actually
showing me how he’d pray for someone on the street, out loud.
OFFICER
I see, and you’re from a radio station?
ANN
Yes sir, from the
Christian Radio Network, K-REV.
OFFICER
Okay then, carry on.
We got complaints, so keep it down. (exits)
BOB
