	If God talked to me, I would ask Him why He didn't make karma to 
	work instantly, that way we would know without a doubt that what 
	we get is the result of our own actions and not God's punishment 
	like many people think.

 "Help me to better understand your love for me, a sinner, that you would
 live and die as a human, that I might have forgiveness and eternal life with 
 you".

"How do I know that you're really God?"

    "What does God need with a spaceship?"

    God: "So what's with this Collis guy?"
    
    		or
    
    God: "Bible?  What Bible?"

Would you forgive me?

    Me: "You're gonna laugh when you hear this.  You see, *I* thought 
         that Collis was just full of hot air.  So naturally when I
    	 made those smart remark in that notes file I... ah, well I
    	 didn't know you were a read-only participant, ok!  I'm sorry."
         

1. Exactly what was the point of my first marriage, if there was any?

2. Exactly what was the point of sticking me with this body, if there
   was any?

3. How come you never healed me when I asked you to?

Richard

1. About the camel and the eye of a needle, did you realize that that's
   a mixed metaphor?

2. When you said, "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is
   pleased to give you the Kingdom.  Sell all your belongings and give
   the money to the poor.  Provide for yourselves purses that don't wear
   out, and save your riches in heaven, where they will never decrease,
   because no thief can get to them, and no moth can destroy them.  For
   your heart will always be where your riches are," how many of us did
   you actually expect to carry out these instructions?

3. So, what's there to do for all eternity?

    What does the rest of the Universe look like?  Can I peek?

Brussel sprouts.  Uh,...Are we really supposed to *like* these things?

Avocados.  Could you explain the pit design here?

Richard

>Brussel sprouts.  Uh,...Are we really supposed to *like* these things?

Not surprisingly, I disagree with Richard here as well.

Brussels Sprouts are excellent, especially when steamed or stir-fried.

 Ah, my favorite food..:-)






 I love 'em

Dear God,

I don't have a problem with some folks liking those li'l sprout critters.
So, I'm glad you included them among the edibles here for the sake of folks
who enjoy 'em.  And I'm hoping you didn't take that crack about the Brussel
sprouts too seriously.

And, as you know, I happen to like pork brains, squid, horseradish and tongue.
I certainly wouldn't expect everyone to share my particular culinary tastes.

Thank you, Lord, for the rich diversity you've given us.

Your servant,
Richard

    RE: .17
    
    I don't know Richard...Pork Brains? Are we talking scrapple here?
    
    Grits...yes. Even raw herring...but...pork brains?
    
    Marc H.

    Scrapple?  I thought they only ate scrapple in Pennsylvania.

    As for Brussels Sprouts, I have eaten them.  As a child I once saw an
    episode of "Leave it to Beaver" in which Beaver hated them, and that
    was all the convincing I needed not to try them.  I am 33 years old,
    and I *still* have never eaten a Brussels Sprout.

    I think we've found common ground at last. :-)

    This is from a song I like, but it's applicable here:
    
    Does He still feel the nails everytime I fail?
    Does He hear the crowd cry "Crucify" again?
    Am I causing Him pain?  Then I know I have to change.
    I just can't stand the thought of hurting Him.

    Could you show me how you created everything?  
    ..
    Oooo...
    ..
    Ahhh....
    ..

    
    Can you show me the line of people who brought Your gospel forward
    through time to me?  I'd really like to meet them all and thank them.
    
    Jill  

 An extension to -1

 I'd  also like to see the folks that have been praying for me over the last
 few years as I fell away, and those whom God tossed in my path during that 
 time that planted little seeds.

    I think I would ask God if my existence has made the world a better
    place than it would have had I not existed--or if it has made it a
    worse place--or if it has been a draw.
