*sigh* One of the Chaplains from work called me again today. They've called once or twice a week since all this started. It makes me feel like a wretched liar, talking to them. Once again I was informed that everybody was praying for me. They keep asking if I want them to come out so that we can have a prayer meeting in my home. I thank them kindly for their prayers, and tell them I have people looking out for my spiritual life at home, but I appreciate the offer. I can't help but wonder what they'd think if they realized that my idea of spiritual renewal was listening to the blue jays as I tediously weed the garden out front.
As I've said before, contrary to popular belief, there are atheists in the foxholes. They have just learned to keep their mouths shut so that the Believers don't get all bent out of shape over them.
