September 27, 2017



I  EXIST, THEREFORE  I  AM

This guy was taking a quiet walk
outside of God’s mansion - when
he decided to stop and take a break -
to just sit  down - lean  his back against
the outside wall of God’s mansion - 
to just look around and admire the miles
and miles of green valley that surrounded
him. Indeed this was heaven.

Surprise! Without knowing it, he was just
below this big room with the window open -
where God the Father, God the Son and God
the Holy Spirit were taking a break. They were
just talking together about this and that. "A 
funny one,” the Spirit said, “remember Sally of
Valley Drive. She was saying last night at a 
party with some friends, 'Oh, I don't believe
in God.'  She hasn’t said that or thought that in at least 11 years now. Wonder what’s going on?”

“Wait!  How do we ever get across to her
that We believe she exists, therefore she is?
How do we get that across to her?”
At that, God the Father, the Son and the
Holy Spirit, heard a loud, “Ahem!” from
outside, down below their open window.
All three - went to the window - and looking
down below - they saw this guy, just leaning
against the wall - but looking up at Them.

This guy - then repeated, "Ahem!" which
they thought was an, "Amen!" He said, rather
bluntly, “Why don’t you give her cancer?  It
worked on me?” At that, all 3 in the Trinity
laughed and  said, “We don’t do that.
Would you want to be known because
you died of cancer or because you
lived and loved? And by the way,  what
are doing down there - listening in on Our
conversations - below Our window? We’ll
be down in a minute and bring you up here.”
