Many times when I am troubled or confused, I find comfort in sitting in my
back yard and having a vodka and cranberry along with a quiet conversation
with Jesus. This happened to me again after a particularly difficult day.
I said 'Jesus, why do I work so hard?' And I heard the reply: 'Men find
many
ways to demonstrate the love they have for their family. You work hard to
have a peaceful, beautiful place for your friends and family to gather.'
I said: 'I thought that money was the root of all evil.' And the reply
was:
'No, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Money is a tool; it can be
used for good or bad'.
I was starting to feel better, but I still had that one burning question,
so I
asked it. 'Jesus,' I said, 'What is the meaning of life? Why am I here?'
He replied: 'That is a question many men ask. The answer is in your
heart and is different for everyone. I would love to chat with you some
more, Seņor, but for now I have to finish your lawn.
