FLOTSAM & JETSAM
Sam Smith
Although it may be because I don't really believe in him, but I can say
with certainty that God has never stopped his majestic efforts to talk
with me. Further, even among the more religious I know, I can't recall
any describing an instance in which God actually conversed with them.
These people have ranged from the merely decent to the near saintly.
They have prayed to God, thought about God, kept God in their hearts,
but, so far as I know, God has never left a message for them on their
cell phone.
Which leads me to wonder why, of all people, God talks so regularly to
the likes of George Bush and Senator David Vitter who recently said of
his dealings with an escort service, "Several years ago, I asked for and
received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage
counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of
the matter there - with God and them."
Of course there is always the possibility that people like Bush and
Vitter are lying or just deluded, but I would appreciate some
theological help on this matter. If I am to be saved, I first need to
know the politics of who's saving me and right now it doesn't look very
hopeful.
