My Prayer for Healing

jesus heal me

Gallows humor ahead . . .

In a prolonged fit of pain and agony, I cried into the void, “Please help me.”

Jesus replied, after 3,666,669 prayers, “I’m here my son . . .”

Loki chimes in, “Silly boy. No one is available to take your call. At the sound of the tone die.”

Loki turns to his younger brother Jesus and says, “Another one healed in your glorious wonderful name, Jesus. Just remember death cures everything. Why heal Bruce when we just can wait for him to die?”

What an awesome God, right?

    You know, Loki can be swayed, whereas the Bible is rigid. I’ll take Loki. Sorry to hear about the pain. I am scheduled to get hand surgery, and I hope I can use my hand to play music again. Anyway, we’re halfway (well, close) between winter solstice and spring equinox. I know my pain is worse in the winter. Sometimes I have to take more THC gummies than I prefer. Anyway tell Polly hi for me.

      Revival Liars, I would love to ask “WTF does this mean?” But asking presupposes that you are capable of giving a rational answer.
      Just your way of spreading the Good News, I suppose.

    I’ve occasionally seen claims by Christians of miraculous healing events, including limbs regrowing, or perhaps just suffering a broken bone that healed overnight. In every case I allege that either they are lying or they are delusional (I suppose a broken bone could be down to misdiagnosis but not a missing limb). If someone grew a new arm it wouldn’t end with the family giving thanks to God and generally dancing round in glee, it would have to be recorded in medical annals and the attention it would get from the medical profession would be relentless.

    Bruce,
    Please know that your wit and wisdom is an inspiration to thousands as you (and we) combat the ignorance and stupidity of ignoramuses like revival fire, and all of his lot.
