I'm 48 years old and my parents have been Evangelical Christians for most of my life. Throughout all those years my parents would always pray before a meal with absolutely no thought of my own belief system which was fine, I didn't care. Recently when I would go to their home for dinner there would be no praying, we would just eat. I don't dare breach the subject with them for fear of uncomfortable confrontation. I found it interesting and a little puzzling to see this change. What happened, did they finally loose hope?
