The Quick “Come-back”

Pastor John,

I was in the kitchen this morning thinking about not having that quick “come-back” in conversations with people.  Jesus has previously shown me that it walks hand-in-hand with being sarcastic.  I was talking to Jesus about it, and I was in the kitchen cooking, with Songs of Rest playing in the background.

After a few happy songs, I was feeling better and kind of forgot about it.  I was listening to Donna Nelson sing, and I said “Lord, if I could sing like Donna, I would never shut up!” As quick as I said that, Jesus said, “Yes, I know.  That is why you can’t!”

I had to laugh because it was such a quick response.
