Talked To God. He Answered.


 I talk to God most every day,
and I do know He's there
by the blunt and pithy way
He hears my not-a-prayer,
'cause God and me, we just talk
like homies, man-to-man,
and sometimes He likes to shock
when I don't understand 
why it has to hurt so much
when He can do some healing
with a casual simple touch,
but His answer is revealing:
"If I give you this victory,
you're gonna lose your ministry."

Don't want that, and He knows it.

The Five Minute Friday prompt this week is EXTRA.

Extra work and extra duties
to support my darling wife
are part of manifold beauties 
that describe my married life,
and have from that bright wedding day
that God set to inspire
in quite a mischievous way
when the bouquet caught fire
and the champagne had gone bad
(just how, I've no idea),
but on our wedding night we had
a case of diarrhea,
but through it love and laughter came
as the **** went down the drain.

What, TMI?

Syl says that at least there's ice cream. I've developed a liking for Great Value crispy ice cream bars from Walmart.

And speaking of food, drop in at Pam and Tony's place for a behind-the-scenes look at the food truck life, and a killer queso recipe.

  1. I love the way you refer to God as your homie - it's wonderful to be able to talk to God as a friend, not just as our Creator.

    1. Andrea, it sure is! And He's got a great sense of humour and fun...I mean, how can you look at a young gooney bird learning to fly and not laugh?

  2. You've given me some good food for thought, Andrew. I have never looked at unwanted challenges I don't understand why are not getting resolved from the perspective of "If I give you this victory, you're gonna lose your ministry."
    Thanks for sharing.
