If it’s good enough to publish, please let them see that is about the most I dare to ask a God I don’t know is even there or listening and besides, I’ve asked Him sixty years’ of favors thrown away too easily like wishes. I’ve learned within that time that if there is a God He has better things to do than puppet to my petty dreams.
And as I sit outside and listen to the siren wail and wonder what it calls the volunteers to face, tradition has me cross myself and then, whoops, I remember: I’ve already bothered Him or It or Whatever this day, this week, this month, this year.
If it’s a life, or someone’s home, or yes, even if it’s just a job for needed income, please do that instead, I say.
The Lost Children: A Charity Anthology
Hmm, that’s a very interesting and profoundly unselfish take on God. If only more people had a similar outlook, a lot of things might change for the better.
By the way, I found your blog as I was looking around for people who are interested in writing/literature, and I wanted to let you know about a new e-zine that me and a few writer friends have put together.
It’s called The Oddville Press. (http://www.theoddvillepress.com)
You should check us out if you’re interested (it’s free to download, hey!). Or better yet, submit something since we’re currently accepting submissions for Issue 2.
Thanks a lot! 🙂
Well, I’m not truly that altruistic; it’s more borne of Catholic guilt I suppose.
I’ve just started checking out The Oddville Press and am already quite impressed by it and the quality of story there. My blogroll sadly needs updating and I’ll certainly add it in there before I even go through and update it. Good luck with it–I’m looking through my stories and perhaps can submit one for your consideration if I find one suitable.
