Christian Living

---

O Lord,
be gracious to us;
we wait for Thee.
Be our arm every morning,
our salvation in the time
of trouble.
[Isaiah 33:2]
**************************
"Lord?"

"Yes, child."

"I just read this article about
Christian Yoga."

[NOD.]

"Well, I sorta' feel bad, Lord."

"Why, child?"

"'Cuz.
I can't do that stuff, anymore."

[NOD.]

"'Ya know; I've got eh,
I don't KNOW: I guess
you'd call it a disability."

[NOD.]

"Not that I'm KVETCHING!
You know I'm past all that,
Lord!"

[SMILE.]
"Ah, yes."

"So? What do I DO, Lord?
This yoga's OUT for me!
How do I get quiet to, like,
be in Your presence, and all?"

"You are in My Presence, child."

"Yeah, but....."

"Read My Word, child."

"Which ONE, Lord?"

"All of It."

"Yeah, but I can't do the yoga part.
How am I gonna' get quiet?"

"Read My Word."

"There must be more TO it, Lord!
How about eating Y-O-G-U-R-T?
That's sorta' CLOSE to yoga,
isn't it?"

[LAUGH.]

"Ech. I used to eat yogurt, Lord."

[NOD.]

"But, how much of it can 'ya EAT?
The only time I liked it, was with
all the strawberries and blueberries
at the bottom."

"Yes, child."

"But, then I figured:
why don't I just get a bunch 'a
strawberries, and eat THAT,
INSTEAD? You know what
I MEAN, Lord?"

[PATIENT SILENCE]

"But, LORD!
You still haven't told me how
to get quiet, first!
What do I DO?"

"Read My Word."

"Well.....alright.
Okay.
I guess I'll just do that, instead."
(silence)
Hey, Lord?"

"What is it, My precious."

"Did MOSES do yoga?"

[LAUGH.]

"But....."

"Read My Word, child.
There you will find peace."

Be still,
and know
that I am God.
[Psalm 46:10]
