Faith

When I look
at Thy heavens,
the work
of
Thy fingers....
what is man
that Thou
art mindful
of him?
[Psalm 8:3-4]
***********************
"I must have a short
span of attention,
Lord."

[NOD.]
"Most of My
children do,
little one."

"Yeah;
I looked at that
CONTEST page,
for a minute."

[PATIENT SMILE.]

(Yawn!)
"Yeah.....but,
there were all
these RULES."

[SMILE.]

"I was gettin'
bored, just lookin'
at the RULES!"

[SILENCE.]
[GAZE AT A LITTLE
OWL INSIDE A SONORA
CACTUS IN ARIZONA.]

"Plus.....they're
probably lookin'
for some really
serious... FAITH
story;
Ya KNOW?"

[PATIENT SILENCE.]

"What am I gonna
TELL 'em about?"
(Bigger yawn.)

[LOVING GAZE.]

"I'm not real good,
with stories......
I usually get BORED....
right in the MIDDLE
of 'em."

[PATIENT GAZE.]
[LISTEN TO A STORM
ON THE SUN.]

"Yeah......
(Sigh.)
I wanna write some
good MYSTERY story,
but, I don't think
I'm logical enough."

[SMILE.]
[TOUCH A SNOW FLAKE
IN NORTHERN CANADA.]

"I really enjoy writing those
dialogues between You
and 'Devil',
Lord."

[GENTLE CHUCKLE.]

"Yeah;
I always sort of picture
Humphrey Bogart."

[PATIENT NOD.]
[TOUCH A THUNDEROUS,
AND SALTY WAVE
OVER THE PACIFIC.]

"Well.....actually,
a combination of
Humphrey Bogart,
Al Pacino, and....
John TRAVOLTA?"

[BURST OUT LAUGHING!]
"I love you,
child."
[TENDER SIGH.]
[CALM A DYING TIGER
ON THE AFRICAN PLAIN.]

"Yeah......
(Sigh.)
but, I picture
John Travolta
in everything:
go figure."

[GENTLE KISS ON
NEWLY BORN KITTEN.]
[SMILE.]
"I understand,
My beloved."

"You DO?
That's WEIRD!"

[HOLDING DYING
TIGER IN HIS ARMS.]
"You would be
surprised, child."
[GENTLE KISS.]
"You would be surprised."

*********************************
We love,
because
He
first
loved us.
[1 John 4:19]
