Voicemail Post for hearts_andminds
I'm not here right now. Sorry.
Please leave your name and number.
I'll call back. I promise.
Oh. And God has a message for you. He says, "Be careful what you wish for."
Sorry again. That's all there is. I can't tell you what it means.
I'm just the messenger. -
TM: Talk about something you inherited.
Sixteen years ago, all of us kids, everyone under the age of 11, inherited exactly the same thing. The world. The whole world, with no one to run it. No curfews or homework. No chores or anyone to order us around; to tell us when to go to bed or what eat. No one left to say what we could or couldn't do. Because they were gone. All gone. ( Read more... ) -
TM: If . . .
If the world hadn't died, what would my life have been like? If the Big Death had never been released - no, if it had never been thought of or developed at all! - where would all of us be today?

Now there's an easy question to answer. Most people think I'm crazy. Doesn't matter if they're strangers or friends. Pretty much everyone sees me as the sorry ass who imagines he hears God. I guess if I were in their shoes, it might seem that way to me, too ( Read more... ) -
A Special Day for Rose (open to all)
It had been a wonderful day. The sort of day he didn't get very often. A day of quality Daddy time with his daughter, Rose ( Read more... ) -
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
I'm not the sort of guy who likes confrontation. I avoid it if I can. When I can. But sometimes - most times - I don't have much of a choice. There are a lot of predators in the world. The ones who survived through violence and anger, preying on the weak ( Read more... ) -
Wonders
It was one of those very rare days when the main Temple was quiet. A few supplicants had arrived in the early morning to petition Bliss for their hearts' desire or to thank him for favors believed rendered, but by noon the only Mister Smith remained. He suspected the beautiful Spring weather was more to blame for the small turnout. It was a ( Read more... )
