Dear God, yes, it is me again I know I keep bothering you but lately I just don’t seem to be able to accept my disappointments and you think I am strong when I am so very weak and it is not that I don’t trust you I just wonder if anyone is listening when I am speaking I keep reaching out but far so short of the edge a finger tip’s distance maybe it is my own fault in needing so much more to believe in but my soles are still burning from fires that I walked through with my eyes wide open and then to walk backwards in steps taken blindly in wanting my own way to regain my balance with skinned knees and elbows and I try so hard to understand heal to toe and if it’s not too much to ask you could you please get back to me for I need your help |

Hi 1slick lady. Mmm this is very good. Let me know if the big guy answers...I have a few questions I need answered if he's got the time. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

Helen, I think you'll hear something soon. Sometimes, it comes in unusual ways and I feel compeled to say that you already know that. hugs, jo |

Helen, I think that you’re anything but weak. And it’s never anyone’s fault to want to feel reassured. My thoughts are with you, that you prayers are answered soon... This was so very touching Helen I hope your okay? Hugs, Richy |

if He gets back to you, tell Him you've got a sister with the same troubles, waiting to hear from Him too  |

reminds me of that line from the gospels "Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief"...there is something to be said for the fact that true faith must always contain a measure of doubt or there is no faith involved...just keep believing (and asking)...even if you doubt great write |

Openly and truly heart felt Slick... wrote a piece similar years ago when my brother's girlfriend shot herself in the middle of the night... Seeking Eternity Hello, is anyone there . . . anyone at all? I’ve said all the things they say should be said, closed my eyes, scratched my knees from all the places I’ve knelt . . . but, hello, is anyone there . . . can anyone hear my prayer, my shouts, my cries, moans, silent plea’s . . . Hello, God . . . I think maybe you’ve died, gone on a trip, got your head somewhere else, or never were . . . anyway, because you sure as heck don’t hear me, have chosen not to hear me, or just don’t care like they say you do. Tomorrow though, I think you’re gonna know me, see me, hear me . . . because I’ll be standing before you yelling as loud as I can, asking why the hell am I there . . . when you could have stopped me, just by saying . . . ‘hello’- Hello, is anyone there . . . anyone at all, anyone . . . at all. w.james beard, jr.
