I
and
the Father
are
One.
[John 10:30]
*********************
"I feel like a jack-ass,
Lord."
[PATIENT VOICE.]
"Why,
child."
(Dispirited shrug.)
"CUZ."
(Shrug.)
"EVERYBODY'S doin'
so WELL.....and, I'm
just a SCHLUBB."
[PATIENT NODDING.]
"I feel like an IDIOT."
[NOD.]
(Laugh up at the ceiling.)
"Are You AGREEING
WITH ME?"
[CHUCKLE.]
(Dispirited sigh.)
(Gaze off into nowwhere.)
(Long pause.)
"Hey.....LORD?
WHAT WAS
JESUS' VOICE,
like?"
[PATIENT GAZE.]
(Squinting,
thoughtfully.)
"It's just that.....
I've been listening to
this CD, and...."
[SMILE.]
"Yes."
[TENDER VOICE.]
"I know,
My child."
"Yeah.
Well, it's just that
JESUS is talking on it,
and...."
[SMILE!]
"Yeah;
I like it better,
than all that READING:
what with my bad
VISION, and all...."
[NOD.]
(Wave at the ceiling.)
"Not, that I'm KEVTCHING!"
[CHUCKLE.]
"Yes,
child.
Go on."
"Well.....the ACTOR
who's READING the
part of JESUS...
has this real gentle VOICE."
[SMILE.]
"Go on."
(Sassy smile up at the ceiling.)
"I didn't say GENTILE......
I said, GENTLE voice!"
[BURST OF LAUGHTER,
FROM THE RIGHT SIDE
OF THE THRONE.]
"SO?"
(Look up.)
"Was JESUS' voice,
that GENTLE...
or WHAT?"
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
"I PICTURED it...
kind'a STRONGER,
and....HARSHER."
(Thoughtful squint.)
"ESPECIALLY,
after what all He
had to say to those
poor PHARISEES."
[SMILING FROM
THE RIGHT SIDE
OF THE THRONE.]
"WELL?
Am I RIGHT?
WASN'T it....HARSHER?"
[SILENCE.]
"I bet it WAS."
[CHUCKLING.]
"Ya aren't gonna
TELL me....
ARE Ya."
[SMILING.]
"Just continue,
child."
"What,
Lord: bein'a
a SCHLUBB?"
"No.
Listening."
***********************
My sheep
hear
My voice,
and I
know them,
and
they follow
Me.
[John 10:27]
