Healing
When I say
My bed will
comfort me,
my couch will
ease my complaint,
then Thou dost
scare me
with dreams
and
terrify me
with visions...
[Job 7:13-14]
************************
"It sounds just like
an old country western song,
don't it, Lord."
[GENTLE CHUCKLE.]
"Yeah;
You're the only One,
I can tell this stuff,
to."
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
"Yeah;
if I tell it to my
friends at work,
or my other friends,
or my one-relative***-that-
is-still-talking-to-me...."
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
"......or my co-pay-of-a-shrink******,
or my next-door-neighbor..."
[SILENCE.]
"Or some of the ladies
in my Monday night
church-group.*..."
[PATIENT NOD.]
"....or, some of the ladies,
in my Wednesday night
Bible-study group**..."
"Yes,
child?"
(Squint.)
"I forget what I was
gonna talk to Ya,
about, Lord."
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
(Grimmace!)
"Oh, yeah;
my.... DREAMS."
[PATIENT NOD.]
"ECH!"
[NOD.]
"Enough to give
anybody, INDIGESTION."
"I understand,
My beloved."
"YEAH?
Well.....if Ya understand,
so much, then why don't
Ya DO somethin' about
IT?"
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
(Put hand to ear,
in a show of sarcasm.)
"HUH?
I didn't HEAR nothin'?"
[REBUKATIVE FROWN.]
"Child,
Who AM I?"
"Eh.....the One Who Could
Swat at me, and 'Ting' me
out of existence right at
this very moment, like a
nasty, PESKY little FLY?"
[GENTLE CHUCKLE.]
(Sassy smile up at heating*****
vent.)
"Yeah, but I'm serious,
Lord. You're the Only One,
I can tell my dreams to!"
[NOD.]
[LOVING GAZE.]
"....And, not be JUDGED!"
"I understand,
Mein kinder."
"Yeah; everybody else
says, 'Oh, you're DREAMIN'
about him, cuz you're still
THINKIN' about him.
You gotta stop THINKIN'
about 'im....and get a
new LIFE."
(Roll eyes, in gastrological
despair.)
"Whatever the hell,
THAT means...."
[TENDER NOD.]
"Nauseating stuff like that."
[NOD.]
"It's so.....JUDGMENTAL.
(Make the face of one,
who is about to throw-up.)
ECH!"
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
"THEY weren't married
to the guy, for 26 years.....
WERE they?"
[QUIET VOICE.]
"No,
My beloved."
"So......I guess,
I'm back to YOU,
Lord."
[TENDER SMILE.]
(Tearful gaze up at ceiling.)
"YOU love me.....
DON'T you?"
"With all My Heart,
My child.
With all My Heart."
***********************
(To the choirmaster:
according to Lilies,
A Psalm of David.)
Save me,
O God!
For the waters
have come up
to my neck.
I sink
in deep mire,
where there
is no foothold;
I have come
into deep waters,
and the flood
sweeps over me.
I am weary
with my crying;
my throat is parched.
My eyes grow dim
with waiting
for my
God.
[Psalms 69:1-3]

finished a 2-week seminar

number 1 gift is 'Exhortation';
I don't even know what it
is.
**Right now, we're knee-deep
in 'Romans': ech. I don't
like it, at all. It's really
heavy, and all it does is
talk about the Jews (and
I'm a Jewish person:
not a Greek [although I
wish I WERE a Greek.], and
this guy Paul was a terrible,
TERRIBLE writer: too bad, he lived
before Shakespeare. Shakespeare
said that a play always needs
to have a moment, or two,
of humor. It's called
something - some literary
expression - but I just
woke up, and can't remember
what it's called.
***The other relative keeps
telling the relative, who DOES
talk to me, that he doesn't
have an email address. Uh,
huh. Sure. He's a NEWS
reporter - and, he doesn't
have an EMAIL address?
Yeah: right. Just because
I'm the YOUNGEST,
doesn't mean I'm the
STUPIDEST.****

emphasis.

It's called 'comic relief'.
Yeah; that's what 'Romans'
needs. Heck, that's what
my LIFE needs....too.
