69. the next time you say grace at dinner with others

Ask god to bless the food that you yourself eat. Don't mention the food on the table in general that everyone shares or other people. Just pray something like, "God, please bless the food that I, onenote, eat today." Don't bless or make any mention of the rest of the food or other people at the table. Then see how people interpret that.

I'm guessing people would think that you're strange and that its a self-centered, unchristian act to ask for God's blessing for yourself without mention or thought to everyone else there. That's just like the song God Bless America. Everyone in the world is at the same table.
