Who Me?

And God said, "Go, be a CATECHIST."

And I said, "Who?......Me?"

And God smiled, "Yes!. . . You!"

And I said:

    "But I'm not ready yet.

    I've got company coming.

    And I can't leave the kids.

    And you know there's no one to take my place.

And God smiled, "Are you sure?"

* * *

And God said, "Go, we need a CATECHIST."

And I said, "But I don't want to!"

And God smiled, "I didn't ask if you wanted to."

And I said:

    "Listen:  I'm not the kind of person

        to get involved in teaching.

    Besides, my family won't like it:

        and my neighbor--what will they think?"

And God smiled, "I know well!"

And yet a third time God said,

    "Go, be a CATECHIST!"

And I said, "Do I have to?"

And God smiled, "Do you love me?"

And I said:

    "Look, I'm scared!

    The kids are going to hate me!

    And cut me to pieces.

    And I can't take it all by myself."

And God smiled, "Where do you think I'll be?"

* * *

And God said to me, "Be a CATECHIST!"

And I said, "Here I am God!  Send me!"

God is an equal opportunity employer:  always fair, always concerned about working conditions, always near when you need assistance.
