A High-tech Prayer

As I boot up my PC,
my modem dialing next to me,
I ask You, Lord, give me a sign-
will I ever get on-line?
If You'd kindly let me through,
I'll byte no more than I can chew.
I'll surf the waves amid the Net,
with my mouse, my loyal pet,
And through each window I will see
the web sites that are offered me.
Resisting any chat room's lure,
I'll download only what is pure.
If system errors don't prevail,
I vow to read all my email.
If you save me from a crash,
I'll dump my games into the trash.
Just please don't take my CD_ROM
Thank You, Lord, God Bless.com

E-mail from God

As you got up this morning, I watched you and hoped you would talk to me, even if it was just a few words,
asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday -
but I noticed you were to busy trying to find the right outfit to put on and wear to work.

I waited again. When you ran around the house getting ready I knew there would be a few minutes
for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy.  At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes
with nothing to do except sit in a chair.  Then I saw you spring to your feet.  I thought you wanted
to talk to me but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip.

I watched as you went to work and I waited patiently all day long. With all your activities, I guess
you were too busy to say anything to me. I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt
 embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head.  You glanced at three or four tables over
and  you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's
 okay.  There is still more time left, and I have hope that you will talk to me yet.

You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do.  After a few of them were done you
turned on the TV, I don't know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes.  You spend a lot
of time each day in front of it, not thinking about anything -- just enjoying the show.  I
 waited patiently again as you watched the TV and ate your meal but again
 you didn't talk to me.  Bedtime I guess you felt too tired.

After you said goodnight to your family you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay
because you may not realize that I am always there for you. I've got patience more than
you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well.  I love
 you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought or a thankful part of your heart.
It is hard to have a one-sided  conversation. Well you are getting up again and once again
I will wait with nothing but love for you hoping that today you will give me some time.

Have a nice day!
Your friend,
GOD
