David, that's a (key)stroke of genius. I think you can redo the famous YA "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret" book title.

what a superb conversation. how real! OY! its almost embarrasing. how could we think god will give us everything we want when we barly acknowlegde his existence. sometimes you come up with the perfect post. thanks for the insight.

with technology these days most people, including me, are devloping even shorter attention spans. thanks for the wake up call to keep working on my kavanah. makes me realize how silly we sound sometimes and how much we take for granted.

Wow that certainly said a lot about how we talk to God-- asking, taking, thanking and fleeing-- only to come back again. Sometimes i think people are like beggars with a little worship thrown in for good measure.

This reminds me of the sign I saw in front of a church, "God reads knee mail"
David,I like the way you are not afraid to explore the human side of God. It shows how comfortable you are with Him in your life, and that you believe that He accepts you as you are.
