The God of Recycling

As I bustled into the car for yet another of a thousand mundane errands that make up the hours of my days, I glanced down and saw it.  Her soda can, the one she had grabbed yesterday for the drive up to the airport, that little metal can that had brushed against her lips and [...]

No Silence

It’s true, I’ve been having some trouble with life lately.  I’m trying to work out what to do and where to go, and, you know, the world keeps spinning so fast it’s hard to clear my head long enough to finish an intelligent thought. My dear, sick cat keeps barfing all over the bed, so [...]

The morning’s still quiet here.  The cats are just waking up, and so the chorus of panic over when their next meal will come hasn’t started yet.  The kids and my husband are asleep, and the sky is blue-grey with little yellow streaks of sun just peaking through.  I’m still trying to get over bronchitis [...]

An old man was walking alongside God in the clouds. God spoke, “So…er…Benedict was it?” “Yes, Sir…Your Grace, God, Ma’am,” the man answered nervously.  God shined with such brilliant, beautiful light, it was hard to make out God’s true shape. “Benedict, my people tell me you claimed to be my messenger down on Earth.  Is [...]
