Talking to Jesus
Many times when I am troubled or confused, I find comfort in sitting in my
back yard and having a vodka and cranberry with lime along with a conversation
with Jesus. This happened to me again after a particularly difficult day.
I said "Jesus, why do I work so hard?"
And I heard the reply: "Men find many ways to demonstrate the love they
have for their family. You work hard to have a peaceful, beautiful place for
your friends and family to gather."
I said: "I thought that money was the root of all evil."
And the reply was: "No, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Money is
a tool; it can be used for good or bad".
I was starting to feel better, but I still had that one burning question,
so I asked it. "Jesus," I said, "what is the meaning of life? Why am I
here?"
He replied: "That is a question many men ask. The answer is in your heart
and is different for everyone. I would love to chat with you some more,
Senor, but for now, I must finish your lawn.
