Planets The Difference Than Universe
Animals Are Often More Reliable Than People – and Are One Way that God Shows His Hand
My Father's God
This is a letter my father wrote to my mother on 2-6-67. He was in his early 40's and knew that he would not live much longer. The essay is address “To Mommie” and signed “John Winston Simpson Love Daddy”. I have read
the letter often and feel that it is worth sharing.
To Mommie,
God, to me, is a feeling that always has and always will exist. I see absolutely no way of eliminating the existence of such a feeling, sensation, being or whatever word can be contrived for the idea of this “infinitesimal”. Because of my extreme ignorance, I call this existor “He”.
During the early part of my life I followed the prayer pattern as I had been taught. I'd start a prayer with flowery dears and thees and thous – Then I'd get around to the real business at hand – the gift or gift happening that I wanted. Of course I started, “If this be thy will, dear Lord”. I didn't dare leave that out. I then followed with my part of the deal – in effect, what would I do in return to pay for his product. Then I'd finish with a very humble AMEN – what-ever that means.
I soon found that he wasn't much of a businessman. I gave him so many deals and side deals that he just couldn't afford not to negotiate. The goodness I was to be was absolutely unbelievable! I even proved my great faith by crawling through a thick wooded area infested with poisonous snakes. I swore not even to defend myself – and I didn't. I saw a Copperhead Snake and crawled right by him. He just looked at me and crawled away.
Since God spoke to Moses and the other guys, I naturally thought I'd get some sort of message too.
Finally, completely tired, I rested on a rock. You know, I did get a message. A little squirrel came over and sat with me. Since God lost his tongue, I talked to the little squirrel. This gentle little animal did not leave me then – nor has he ever since.
