Sought Through Prayer and Meditation

Bob Johnston

Originally published in Margie

With you I have known peace, Lida, and
now you say you’re going crazy.

                                    - James Thurber

He talks to God each morning and evening
and sometimes in between, on his lunch hour,
for he is a righteous man and is guided by the Word
as revealed to him directly in these conversations.

God has told him he must be a stern and loving husband,
that he must instruct me in the proper duties of a wife,
because I am of an inferior species that never can aspire
to the Priesthood. Such is the word of God and Saint Paul.

My duties are to love and cherish and obey, particularly
to obey, to serve him at his pleasure and to bear many children,
to keep a clean house and cook nutritious meals and iron his shirts
and those of our children, who will all be boys.

God has told him that the Ten Commandments
are only the beginning, that he must always seek
direct instruction on how to regulate his household
for maximum comfort and the greater glory of God.

I wanted to talk direct to God too, so today I tried,
and I think I made a connection, but Her advice
did not really make any sense, because all I heard was
Sharpen the icepick and wait.
