HEY GOD!

Last night, I ran out my door, I ran down the street, and I ran to the park.

I ran to the deepest, darkest, and most wooded part of the park. I needed to speak LOUD, I needed to be heard, but I didn't want to be overheard.

I climbed up into a tree, to get closer to the sky.

I yelled "HEY GOD!"

There was no answer.

I yelled again "HEY GOD!"

This time there was a response!

Someone yelled out "Shut the hell up, before I call the cops!"

I decided that I did not need to yell. God hears all! Right?

So, I just spoke calmly to the sky, and waited for a sign.

Nothing! Nothing! Just stars!

Thousands and thousands of stars; light years and light years away.

Embarrassed, I climbed down from the tree.

I went home and talked to my plants.

They are much closer to God than I.
