Alright, I know each and every one of you has THE Christmas present that you want. THE thing that you desire this year, attainable or not, what is it for you?
If we have THE Christmas present that we want (and you say that you know we have it) that it must be attainable. But no, at least not to my knowlege, I'd actually like a video cell phone directly linked to God (call it a prayer upgrade) where we could actually have a conversation man to God with instant replies
! Think about it, no waiting, no misunderstanding of and difficult awkward attempts at interpetting things. Frankly I think it would save me and him a lot of grief. And imagine the solutions this could bring, a friend calls and asks about a difficult problem in life and you reply "hold on a sec while I put you on hold and ask God's opinion." I know we have the Bible, but this would leave no room for interpitive error on either side. (Or long hours trying to hunt down an answer over hundreds of pages)
However, I do believe that this would probably mean an increase in pain and difficulties in my life (the right thing to do is hardly ever the easy thing to do), at least I could make sure that my actions weren't the result of stupid whims, but garunteed to be the will of God. Besides working out things in life plans you could also have incredibly fascinating conversations on everything from creation to his day to day dealings with the truly important issues (none of the crud that they talk about on the news but the unsung heros and avoided disasters that all work out through his miraculous intervention)
Frankly Santa, thats what I want for Christmas,
Later,
Pascal
