    This quote reminds me of a personal experience when I played HS football that I'll never forget. I don't recall the specific situation, but we were in the huddle and our tackle said, "Let's say a prayer." I shot back, "God helps those who help themselves. Now let's go." We didn't say the prayer, but we won the game. :lol:
