Dear God

I came across some notes I had scribbled when I was in grade V11.

I found this.

Dear God,

You are weird. I don’t get you. You don’t add up.

You are the Controller of the earth, the fire, the wind and the rain.

You are manifested in the earth, the fire, the wind and the rain.

You are the earth, the fire, the wind and the rain

You have laws that we mortals should live by, but You make and break them at will.

Yet the belief is that living by Your laws will get one to Heaven – where a lifelong of pleasure or salvation awaits.

We sin if we don’t obey and if we repent and ask for forgiveness we are forgiven. It is supposed to be that simple.

Is it?

Now when I am nudging fifty, I know better intellectually,

That’s not enough though, is it?
