Excuse Me Dad
Excuse me Dad,
I have an urgent question.
But first let me acknowledge that my blood brother is now my brother in Christ
Recap
The brother who had ta-toed his body with cigar burns
The one who ripped his chest with a dagger
He spent three months in rehab
Yeap, that one
He survived the physical death and the actual death
Saved twice
Yesterday as I sat there and watched him talk about his journey with gratitude
....It all felt like a dream
A very long dream that began four month ago
I remember crying, escaping, believing, not believing, expectation test
But one thing that remained afloat/contact
The life jacket said
Jesus @ work.
Dad, here is the question.
Do you remember Micah?
His mother cursed him and tried to reverse it by offering You silver
Then came along a Levite
The man predicted it will be well with him
..
Dad, I did read the other chapter you know,
It does not end well with him
It does not sit well with my mind
That I could reckon with a man who raised an image
against You
and said it shall be well with him.
I think it is very wrong to think You will come anywhere near with an idol in between
The levite and the coins and the ephod were snatched away by the tribe of Dan.
I think after all it went well with his soul
But not as he predicted.
But Dad,
What do you think?
of Micah and Wonder and the House of Membley
