In "Unanswered Prayers," a man runs into his high school sweetheart at a home football game. As he introduces her to his wife, he reminices about that past relationship and he wanted her to be his forever. He plead to God that this was all he would wish for. Now he finds that the Lord knew what he was doing all along. He looked at his wife and praised the "man upstairs."
