[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me (in a tizzy): God, can I ask you something? [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: Sure.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me: Promise you won't get mad? [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: I promise.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me (frustrated): Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today? [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: What do you mean?[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me: Well I woke up late. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: Yes.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me: My car took forever to start. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: Okay.....[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me (growling): At lunch, they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: Hmmmm.....[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me: On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: All right.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me (loudly): And to top it all off, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]when I got home, I just wanted to soak my feet in my foot massager and relax, [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]but it wouldn't work. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Nothing went right today! [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Why did you do that? [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Well let me see.....The death angel was at your bed this morning [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]and I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]I let you sleep through that. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me (humbled): [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Oh..... [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: I didn't let your car start [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]because there was a drunk driver on your route [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]that might have hit you if you were on the road.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me (ashamed): ..... [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: the first person who made your sandwich today was sick [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]and I didn’t want you to catch what they have, [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me (embarrassed): Oh..... [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: Your phone went dead [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]so you would be covered.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Me (softly): I see God. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]GOD: Oh and that foot massager, [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]it had a short [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. [/FONT]
