A chat with Jesus

Many times when I am troubled or confused, I find comfort in sitting in my back yard and having
a vodka and cranberry along with a quiet conversation with Jesus.
This happened to me again after a particularly difficult day. I said…"Jesus, why do I work so hard?"
And I heard the reply: "Men find many ways to demonstrate the love they have for their family.
You work hard to have a peaceful, beautiful place for your friends and family to gather."
I then asked …"I thought that money was the root of all evil?"
And the reply was: "No, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Money is a tool which can be
used for good or bad."
I was starting to feel better, but I still had that one burning question, so I asked…..
"Jesus, what is the meaning of life and why am I here?"
He replied: "That is a question many men ask. The answer is in your heart and is different for
everyone. I would love to chat with you some more, señor…..but for now...
I must finish your lawn."
