In the world
you have tribulation.
[John 16:33]
**************************
"Lord, why did
You make HURRICANES?"

[SILENCE.]

"Don't You think
us HUMANS ....
have a RIGHT
to KNOW?"

[SILENCE.]

"WELL?
(Cranky look up at ceiling.)
DON'T WE?"

"Child,
tell Me."

"WHAT?"
(Crankier look.)
(Munch on a carrot.)
(Sip some A&W.)

"About your last hurricane."

(Sudden squint.)
"Ya mean: a few YEARS AGO?"

[PATIENT NOD.]

"Well......
(Squint thoughtfully.)
(Sip some rootbeer.)
Eh.....I was watchin' CNN,
the whole TIME!"

[NOD.]
"And, today,
My beloved?"

(Squint.)
"Eh.....well;
I'm just sittin' here."

[GENTLE VOICE.]
"Yes?"

"Talkin'."

[PATIENTLY WAITING.]

"T'a YOU?"

[GENTLE SMILE.]
**************************
I have said this
to you,
that in Me
you may peace.
In the world
you have
tribulation;
but be
of good cheer,
I have
overcome
the world.
[John 16:33]
