Stop telling me
Jesus wants me
to forward this email
To prove I love Him. 

No he doesn't. 

He told me so. 

You see I talk to Him every day.
All day long, in fact.
I don't kneel and pray in the morning
Jesus and I have a conversation
that has run through my head
Since about 1981. 

In fact, He told me
Just yesterday
that if you don't stop sending those emails
He's going to SMITE you. 

Just kidding.
He said nothing of the sort.
But when I get one of those emails
He DOES tell me
"Love her. She's filled with
enthusiasm - and she loves you.
This is her way of showing it.
So love her back."

And I ask Him
"Is it okay if I love her back in my way?"

And he says "Sure. As if you need to ask."

See? That's why I love Him.
Well, that and the whole redemption business.

I DID take a look, before I asked. I noticed we have some friends in common, and I've seen you on their journals before. You seem intelligent and balanced, which are fairly crucial requirements for me to add someone.

I was primarily asking because if you want to know more, I can add you and thus allow you to see a more personal side of me. If you're just curious and adding me to see what comes next without any back-reading, then that's cool, too.
