Blog Post Six

Traveling down this path towards my world of glory (hopefully, sometime in the very near future) I wonder how long will it take. Immediately, the answer is given: “however long it takes”. The clarity is crystal clear and the voice familiar. It comes from above, and His name is Mr. Know-It-All. Everyone else knows Him as God, to me He's Mr. Know-It-All. Always with the rules and regulations and always with the threats. Heaven or Hell, choose my children. The original “party pooper”.

Revelations

So dad, our Father told me, to tell you…

I don't want to hear it, I'm not in the mood tonite.

So dad, what's up? Why you keep playing games?

Rose, you need to step back and regroup.

But dad…

Step back and regroup Missy!

So dad, when you gonna get this show on the road? Our Father is waiting on you.

Well, He's got eternity ahead of Him, another day or two is not gonna matter.

I guess you got a point.

Damn good point too, so both of you can put that in your pipe and smoke it, or whatever else it is you do up there besides constantly annoying me.

Dad, you don't have to be like that.

Bullshit, I'm flesh and blood, that's what we do, act out. You remember that I'm sure, which is why you're up there. Gone before your 21st birthday and for what? Girl's just gotta have fun. That's what you used to tell me, rite?

Yes dad, but…

I don't wanna hear it. Good thing our Father stepped in and gave you the opportunity to confess your sins. Better still, you had the sense to acknowledge Him, before check out time.

Yes dad, I thought about you and that's why in an instant, my life flashed before me and I asked for forgiveness and accepted Christ. Next thing, I knew, I was in the house of the Lord.

Oh really?

No, O'Reilly!

You needs to keep your day job, because you aint fun-E.

Actually, I'm quite the comedian. I'm hilarious.

Tell you what…

I'm all ears Daddy-O.

Gimme a couple of days.

O-Kee-Dokey Smokey.

Why you keep stealing my lines?

Because, you're the best, dad!

Damn straight!

Good night dad, sleep tight.

Good nite Rose, but you know damn well, I'm gonna be up all night.

Our Father says, Ha, ha!

You both can go smoke that pipe now.

Night dad!

Nite Rose!

Back to our regularly scheduled program

Yeah, I really was in a foul mood, but Rose cheered me up. So time to hit the canvas, these masterpieces are not gonna paint themselves. I'll see you all in the Galleria. That's Lilly Pollyanna Galleria.

Ciao!
