Am I the only one who’s been thinking that God is just pissed? What do I mean by that?  Well it’s not quite like the big flood where all the animals and a handful of humans floated off in a large boat, type of pissed. 

It’s more like I imagine God saying…

First off, I’m tired you’re not thinking or praying or talking about me anymore.

I’m tired you think it’s always about you.

I’m tired of your lying. Why ya gotta lie?

I’m tired you’ve eliminated me from a world “I” created.

I’m tired that free-will is being taken from my children all over the world.

I’m tired that you think there are no consequences for the decisions you make, with that free-will.

I’m tired of watching how things have been going and the “hands-off” parenting. You’ve taught these young adults disrespect and anger.  The fruits of your labor are now showing up as they ignore the safety of their elders and those around them.

Just an FYI, I WILL be protecting the babies, they are innocent.

To make you speak to your neighbors, I took your ability away.

To make you respect the enormous responsibility of teachers, I gave you your children back.

To make you slow down I took your job, your car and your importance away.

To make you appreciate the food you eat, I’ve emptied your shelves.

To humble you, I’ve removed your plans and made you live in the moment.

To remove the ever-growing drone of arguing, opinions, and untruths that are being told to you every day, I’ve quieted the streets and playgrounds and public areas. You should now be able to listen to the birds, the wind in the trees, and the sound of walking in the snow or sand. You should be able to hear ME more clearly now!

I am the voice in your heart and your head.

I want to remind you that I am in the quarantined voices that sing from the balconies in Italy and the keyboard player who entertains his neighbors in Spain.

I’ve shown you the human spirit as you wait in long lines to get essentials by the laughter you share with strangers about being in this thing together. 

I’d like you to please compliment the lady who wears the purple latex gloves while pushing her grocery cart. Maybe you could both laugh in the face of fear?

Please stop yelling at the cashiers, they don’t order the stupid toilet paper. Maybe show them a little love.

I want you to think about this. Since the “have to’s” and “need to’s” have been taken from you, what could possibly be your “should do’s?”

I’ve left you with brilliant minds, generous hearts and logical souls to help you get through this and you will.  But I really need you to think about what you want your life and this world to look like after all of this, because I hate being pissed.

I Love you…

God
