And The Lord SaidGo

And The Lord SaidGo

AND THE LORD SAID, “GO”

And I said, “Who me?”
And He said, “Yes, you.”
And I said,
. “But I’m not ready yet,
. and there is company coming,
. and I can’t leave the kids,
. and you know there’s no one to take my place.” And He said, “You’re stalling.”

Again the Lord said, “Go.”
And I said, “But I don’t want to.”
And He said, “I didn’t ask if you wanted to.” And I said,
. “Listen, I’m not that kind of person . to get involved in controversy
. besides, my family won’t like it
. and what will my neighbors think?”
And He said, “Balony.”

And yet a third time the Lord said, “Go.” And I said, “Do I have to?”
And He said, “Do you love me?”
And I said,
. “Look, I’m scared
. people are going to hate me
. and cut me up in little pieces
. and I can’t take it all by myself.” And He said, “Where do you think I’ll be?”

And the Lord said, “Go.”
And I sighed, “Here I am, send me.”
