The Lord Loves Me

Jan 2nd, 2024 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

The Lord loves me even though I don’t love myself.

Not every day goes great. But when I pray, I pray for joy and happiness.

The wife comes and yells, “your lazy butt still sitting in that darn chair?”

“Just talkin’ to the Lord for a moment.”

A bolt of lightning makes us both jump and her fall to her knees.

“No, David,” she yells, “not a storm. We need the tomatoes to bloom, you old fool.”

The second bolt of lightning enters the house and her skull.

I smile, realizing even the weather listens when I talk to God.
