STAY FOREVER

STAY FOREVER

" Maybe I pray too much, maybe I'm wasting God's Time"

I sometime hear those words in my head. Their from a song by Hal Ketchum, one of the most talented people on this earth by the way. His songs are intelligent, spiritual, moving, and meaningful, he doesn't waste a word.

That line above is from the song "Stay Forever", a great love song. For some reason that line takes me far away from the story of the song to the story of my life.

I pray a couple of times a day, in my head, when I have a quiet moment. Always at night of course, as I close my eyes, I run the words of the Lords Prayer, the Serenity Prayer, and then my thoughts and thanks of the day through my head. I sometime even fall asleep saying my prayers.

Praying too much has entered my mind on occasion, I sometime have a thought of "what am I doing?" Is this just something we have been programmed to do over thousands of years to give us some sort of hope and solace before we inevitably die. Is their something more for us out there we can not see? Who am I to know? Who do I talk to in my head when I pray? Is it the image of the bearded man we have all seen in churches that we know as Jesus? Is it everything big and small, life and space? I cannot answer any of those questions and I know I will not find out the answer until I pass away from this life. I'm in no hurry by the way.

Am I "wasting God's time"? Another fine question I can't answer, but I would hope that my prayers are heard. I ask for peace, love, all the good things in this life and I have even asked for a pay raise. That's when I wonder if anyone's out there and if you're nuts. Anytime you ask God for a raise in pay you might want to re evaluate your life a little. By the way I haven't received that raise yet. I wonder what God would like us to talk to him about, if I find out I'll let you know.

Maybe I Pray too Much, Maybe I'm wasting God's Time. Great song, you should listen to it sometime, but once you hear that line, be careful....you might be adding to my blog pretty soon.
