Do you think God really listens to every
single prayer? Most folks assume he’s
listening, but how can they know for sure?
They probably just keep interpreting
everyday coincidences as messages from
him, as if he’s responding to them in some
sort of goofy indirect code. For instance,
yesterday I prayed for an easier life and
then later on I was able to twist off the cap
on the new salsa jar with hardly any
exertion. Some folks would say that was
an answer from God. Well, okay...
hallelujah, I guess. But the salsa had gone
bad. I think the vacuum seal had somehow
been broken and that’s why the cap came
off so easily. So maybe the rotten salsa
could be interpreted as some sort of
response to my prayer. But you’ve got to
be kidding if you think I’m going to sit
around pondering stuff like that and letting
my brain turn to mush.
