“COME  BACK  HERE”

 

I’m sitting in this big empty church.
It’s around 2 in the afternoon.
In comes in a grandfather and it's
my guess, with his grandson.
 
The little kid runs away – right up
to the front of the church. The old
man yells, “Come here! Come
back here! Come here…. Here ….”
 
The kid looks around the front of the
church and then slowly works his
way back to the back of the church
and kneels down next to his Pop Pop.
 
I’m watching the whole moment.
I'm slowly realizing this is funny.
God are you telling me something?
Are you saying: "Come back here and pray"?
