I got a letter from God today..

..so,quite naturally,I figured he was gonna call me on the carpet over that deal with the thing...you know.. I was pretty sure I covered ALL the bases,..still,you never know when "Mr. Omnipresent" is gonna stick his two-cents worth into the mix.
I mean,CRAP!..It's hard enough being good without some Supreme Being hangin' over your shoulder the whole time with that disapproving look on his face.
So I got my story straight,and opened the envelope.
Turns out,It was just some kind of spiritual chain letter...


...I hate wasting a perfectly good alibi..

Ok, so on Saturday we were driving to the dump but we had stopped to get the mail out at the box first and I got this stuff in the mail that had a paper handkerchief that was supposed to bring me blessings and then I had to send in some money...35 bucks I think for a bigger blessing...more for an even bigger one...Sling, I threw it out. Do you think I made a mistake? Am I gonna go to...you know the hot spot? Damn, darn...I should have at least blown my nose on the paper thing don't you think? I'm so serious about the mailing thing....a paper handkerchief with blessings. It was kinda pretty...pink and blue.

I can get weirder....when we were in Calif. a few weeks ago, we were cleaning out my father-in-law's house. He passed away in December. We took the phone out on Wednesday afternoon...no other phones in the house, none...that was at 4pm. When we came back the next day at noon the neighbor came over and told us the police had been there on Wed. night at 9pm because there was a 911 call from my F-I-L's house. I should have kept that handkerchief...it was another sign...a sign that I am just too damm weird.

I got a letter like that once, but it contained a tiny paper rug (sort of a Persian rug design, which is hugely ironic all on its own), and I was instructed to kneeel on it, pray for what I wanted, then send my donation in and my prayer would be granted. I knelt and prayed that those yahoos never sent me another prayer rug letter and even without my donation, my wish came true. I'm saved!

congrats on the letter from the big guy.

i guess his auto-dialer 5000 is broken and he's back to using the postal service.

Golly, Sling. God has never sent me a letter. Or a hankie. Or a rug. I feel really left out.

Oh damn! So now God is into chain letters too?

I think the old dude has too much time on his hands.
