"Dear LORD, please, please, oh, PLEASE give me some money! I need it
REAL bad! Tens and twenties would be nice. Hell (so to speak), I'll
even take fivers and sawbucks, LORD!"
Hell. It didn't work. Maybe that should tell you something about the
nature of the god, prayer, and wishful thinking.
By the way, speaking of prayer. Please send to me your address REAL SOON,
so that I can send a post card every now and then. You'll have to know
where to send your prayers, after all.
shy.david@edenbbs.com will still be working for a few more days.
I can see it now----
I'll be wearing my safety harness, tethered to the deck, while the boat
heaves and pitches under me; I'll be hard at work fighting to keep the
boat on course, arms aching at the tiller, eyes peering intently into the
rain and gloom.
Then all of a sudden I'll feel The Anointing Of The Lord fall upon me
like a wet woolen blanket, as you bend your knees to pray for me. I'll
wail in dispair "No, not now! I'm fighting for my life!" but you
won't be able to hear me, and you'll continue to call The Sky Captain down
upon me. And like a suffocating blanket, I'll slowly lose consciousness
as The Spirit Of God envelopes me in its coying, stifling embrace.
As The Power From On High slowly saps my strength, I'll try desperately
to tie down the tiller to keep the towering waves off the beam, but to
no avail --- the Presence of the Great Bosun Above will wash over me
before I can prepare my boat, and I will founder utterly, deep sixed, to
face Davey Jones in his locker forever and ever and ever.
All because you prayed for me at the wrong time.

I could use all the $$$ help I can get. A high energy music ministry
cannot be effected from a wheel chair or crutches.
Pray REAL hard. No, I mean HARDER. No, *HARDER* than that. Let's see
some sweat on the brow. HAAAAAAARRRRDDDERRRRRRR! Here, let me help....
