Old Man In the Lake Sees God

the old man in the lake sees God An lonely retired old man sits in a simple boat In the middle of a lake in the middle of a storm a sudden onset of rain blasts of brilliant lightning and roaring thunder the boat is overwhelmed the old man debates whether to give it up head for shore too late to resume fishing By a brilliant flash of lightening he sees in the sky the snarling angry face of God filling the sky with his visage In a loud thunder clap He hears the snarling angry voice of God Old man in the lake I have a message for you it is time for you to go home prepare to meet your maker the end times are coming Armageddon is about to be unleashed the final battle between good and evil your mission is to warn the world before it is too late repent and you will be saved otherwise you will die suddenly the storm stops the sky clears up the spring time nice day returns filling the air with hope the old man in the boat in the lake decides there was nothing more to do other than resume fishing
