Encouragement
In the beginning...
the earth was
without form and void,
and darkness was upon
the face of the deep;
and the
Spirit of God
was moving
over
the face
of the waters.
[Genesis 1:1-2]

(The Lord Jesus is
sitting at the Right Hand
of the Father. At the
moment, however, the
Father is preoccupied
with something on His Left.)

KNEELING BY THE SMALL,

[GENTLE SHRUG.]
[GRUFF COMMAND IS
ISSUED TO THE KNEELING
ANGEL. ANGEL DEPARTS
FOR JUST A MOMENT,
AND THEN RETURNS WITH
ANOTHER BOWL OF CHEW
TOYS.]
[GRUFF CLEARING OF

GOING?"
[GENTLE THOUGHTFUL
SILENCE.]
"Slow, Father.
Very slow."

THE FATHER.]

YOU, at ALL."
[GRUFF NOD.]
"Hm, hm.
[REACH OVER TO
CARESS SOME FUR,
THAT ONLY MOMENTS
AGO, HAD BEEN COVERED
WITH TARMAC DIRT, BLOOD AND TIRE
TRACKS.]
"She's always angry with
Me: very angry."
[GENTLE SMILE.]
"Well....now, that she is
getting to know Me,
perhaps......"
[GRUFF SMILE.]
"She will get to know
Me, too."

And God said,
Let the earth bring forth
living creatures
according to their kinds....
And, God saw that it
was good.
Then
God said,
Let us make man
in our image,
after
our likeness.
[Genesis 1:24-26.]
