God Calling, Part 2

Ok, so God didn't really call me Tuesday night, and we didn't really have the conversation described in my last blog, God Calling. I did talk to God, though, mostly some complaining and venting and some repeated requests that I have been making for several months, but I didn't actually hear God respond to any of it. As far as conversations go, it was rather one-sided. That is basically how all of my prayers are - one-sided monologues where I spew out everything that God already knows. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that is how it is. 

God Calling

God called me on the phone last night - not my cell phone (that would be weird), my spiritual phone (I was glad I turned the ringer on - I missed his call the day before because I had silenced phone during the church worship service). It was no big deal really, just one of our typical conversations.

"How's it going, Darrell?" 

"I'm doing fine, God. Thanks for asking." 

"Sorry you didn't win the final game in your NCAA basketball bracket!"

"That's ok - I had a pretty good run. I suppose your bracket turned out pretty good?"
