And We Pray, Pray, Pray (MC Hammer)

I believe there is a God, a Higher Power. I more believe this Higher
Power is male, can't see a female doing this job.

With that said... Don't you think God sees everything we do..better yet.
He knows everything we are ABOUT to do, BEFORE we even do it. Deep
right? So its reason to believe, also, that He is aware of our feelings,
knows what's in our hearts, right? So explain something to me then. Why
don't most people speak what's in their heart.

Another thing. I know this customer, female, she stop coming by the
counter for a while. I saw a woman who looked just like her so I thought
it was her daughter, turns out, it was her granddaughter. The GD's
mother then walk to my counter, and out of earshot of the GD, I said out
loud, you're beautiful. I started talking with her, but she got all
religious on me. I had enough and asked her can I just say something,
this is what I said.

Why did you just ask Jesus to help you. He did already, he bought you to
me. Or was it that in your heart, you were thinking in what some may
call unpure ways? Are you married, no? BF, no? Oh cause you're 53 years
old doesn't mean you can't have a bf. Excatly what was you thinking when
you ask Jesus to help you?

Turns out that she did have these thoughts about me, cause she felt that
what I was saying to her was straight from my heart. But she just got
out of a relationship about 3 months ago, and he took advantage of her.
I asked, well, why didn't you do it back? She claims she isn't like
that, so look where it got you now. She asked me what did I want to do
with her? Just like that she asked. I told her.

She gave me her cell, home and email address and said please call her. I
did when I got home. Had a looong convo too. She was and is finding
comfort in the church, but something missing. I told her...sex. No I
said some one between your legs, which left he VERY quiet. Then she said
its true. See, that's what I don't understand about the Church.

One, to be a Pastor of your own Church, you have to have the gift of
gab. And once you have that down, its like having a bottomless wallet or
purse. Cause, there are people who seek solice in The Church. They
figure that 'man' is so wrong, and that this Pastor has a direct link to
The Man Above. This Pastor knows what's right, he isn't going to steer
me wrong. No he won't, but he will steer all those lost feeling of
togetherness that you're missing..he will us that to his advantage. I've
been to a lot of Churches where I've seen the congregation 'waited'
their turn to talk to the Pastor, I saw how he operated and it was a
shame.

I'm saying this. If you don't follow your heart, then what are you
really following. People want o meet and deal with real, and real
people. We can't say what you always want to hear. Then again, we can.
You have a brain, not only listen to what's being said to you, try to
understand too. Body movements play a big part in communication, it
tells all.
