heyyy Girlfriend! ... that was a 'bomb' outfit you had on last Sunday! "mzstephens" ain't got no problem payin' a compliment when it's due, and you made quite a "Diva Debut!" I just can't say enough about that suit, and those shoes! ... Italian leather? Girl, and that hat took your whole ensemble to the next level, you know you had it "goin' on" ... by the way, "how you been?" I always miss you at Sunday morning service and devotion, and since you don't have to come to the midweek Bible Study, you must be one of the strongest Christians alive! tell me your secret please, 'cause I'm on a constant struggle and I study every chance I get. But God is an awesome God isn't he? He's a prayer away and is always answering prayers. I don't need to tell you how good he is though, cause you must have some 'specialized Christianity', since I never see you at Prayer meeting either... But you look 'soooo' good! God must be blessin' something you're doing... me, I'm just dealing with things - going through some of that same ol' stuff they been talkin' bout since Bible times. You know, struggles, tears, anxiety, grief, and distress. Christians like you don't have those problems I guess. Seems like only that "two or three" of us that keep gathering in "his name" are amongst the only few who keep dealing with these things. The more I rely on the Lord, the more that ol' enemy keeps attacking everything I set out to do. But you never have that problem, do you? ...mmmm, I didn't think so, cause you seem to shout and praise with no hesitation!

Let me tell you something though, I just can't do anything but keep on relying on the Lord, since it's his grace and mercy that sees me through. I've got a "peace" in my spirit that I just can't explain, and it's gives me confidence that one day it's gonna all be alright. People may not see it, but I do worry, don't you? Then again, I've got a joy within me, that makes me yearn for a better day, and gives me the ability to witness about my blessings and salvation to others.

Maybe if you could take some time from your busy schedule, and drop by the church to join us in prayer, or study, when we don't have all these "fine" spiritually entertaining programs goin' on, and share some of what you have with us, maybe we could learn a little something from such a "profound" Christian as yourself. Maybe we could find out what this "prosperity" in Christianity is that everybody keeps talkin' bout. I don't know what I could be doing wrong that I don't "have it" like you. Oh no, I don't mean it like that... but see, I Pray daily, read and STUDY my Bible, I'm faithful to my spouse, try to love others (which you know is hard when you're in customer service), tithe and serve in the church, and try to set a good example for others. Maybe it's me that doesn't have a clue, or maybe some of you have a different definition of Christianity that you got from a different version of the Bible ...

"OUCHHHH"! ..."mzstephens" just had to say that, ... peace out...
