God Exists

I lay in the dark, next to my niece, stroking her hair, observing the tears run down from the corners of my eyes to collect in pools in my ears.

The tears came from the depths of my soul. I was crying as I haven't in a long, long time.

And then I got not one call, but three from close friends. Bible-toting L said he just called to check on me and see if I was okay. There is no way he could've known.

The Jokester knew right away that there was something wrong. He insisted on coming over even though I was downright rude in putting him off. We went out for coffee and talked about music and life and laughed.

He may throw temptation in my way, He may make decisions imperative and difficult, but at least He didn't leave me friendless last night.
