Wide Awake - Reflections on Prayer and Distraction
Sister Terry:
Every day at sunset, you'd bow your head to the east and pray, is that right?
Joshua A. Beal:
Uh, I stopped that.
Sister Terry:
Okay, well, what did you think about when you prayed?
Joshua A. Beal:
Nothing mostly. Sometimes, I'd wonder... What made that smell in the carpet?

Wide Awake - Questioning Faith and Salvation Perspectives
Joshua A. Beal:
My question is about my Aunt Denise. She's not baptized, so that means she's going to hell, right?
Sister Terry:
Uh, no, actually she's not, Joshua.
Joshua A. Beal:
And my dad's best friend, he's not baptized either, and that means *he's* going to hell.
Sister Terry:
Joshua, I think you misunderstood.
Student:
Oh man! Seth Greenburg rides my bus, he's not baptized...
Sister Terry:
Okay, wait a sec...
Student #2:
Hey, my cousin's going to hell?
Sister Terry:
No, I don't think....
Student:
The family living next door - their whole house is going to hell!
Sister Terry:
No, that's not what it says in the book. If you'll notice, on page 4... Okay, alright, quiet! No one is going to hell!
