VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Where Are You, Ergate!?!

 










... And The Lord, By King Solomon, Said:
"Go To The Ant, Thou Sluggard;
Consider Her Ways, And Be Wise ...!" 

The Only Truck I Want With An Ant 
Is To Mash It Before It Stings Me! 

Wow! Violent Much, Aren't We, Meldeane!?! 

You Can Say Whatever You Want, Clotelle! 
Just Looking At Ants Scurrying Every Which Way And Loose 
Make Me Want To Scratch! 

Seriously, Meldeane, The Scripture Says That 
We May Learn A Great Deal From One Of Those Little Creatures 
Whose Weight Won't Make A Measurement On Any Scale! 
Methinks You Should Have A Lil' Chat With Ergate! 

My Dear Clotelle, 
When Would You Like Me To Have This Conversation 
With That Ever-Ready Bunny, Ergate!?! 

Now Is As Good A Time As Any, Meldeane 
... And Please Be Nice, No Sarcastic Remarks! 

You Wound Me, Clotelle! 
You Wound Me! 

Whatever! 

'Morning, Ergate! 
How Be You!?! 

Good Morning, Clotelle! 
Meldeane! 

Ergate, Why Are You Always Running Around 
Like A Chicken With Its Head Chopped Off!?! 

Nice Going, Meldeane! 

Sorry, Clotelle! 
Looking At Ergate Was Giving Me Ant Vibes 
And I Was Starting To Feel The Need To Scratch Myself! 

I'm So Sorry, Ergate! 
That Came Out Wrong! 

It's Okay, Meldeane, I Get That A Lot! 

Simply Put, Ergate 
I Want To Know Why You Are Always So Busy!?! 

That's An Easy Question To Answer, Meldeane: 
My Name, My Nature! 

Come On, Ergate!
What Does Your Name Have To Do With Anything!?!

Clotelle, What Have You Been Teaching, Meldeane!?! 
Have You Neglected To Teach Her That 
Names Have Meanings Which Denote Character 
Which, In My Case, Are Name, Nature, Character, And Calling!?! 

Meldeane, Do You Know What My Name Means!?! 

Nope, Ergate! 
Never Thought Much About It 
Beyond Thinking It Was A Made-Up Name! 

You Really Need To Learn To Self-Edit, Meldeane! 

Oh, Shut It, Clotelle! 

Ladies, Please! 

Meldeane, My Name, Ergate, Means Worker Ant! 
In The Ant Colony
Worker Ants Have, And Know, Their Assignments 
And, Being Diligent, Are Oriented To Time And Place 24/7
And Being Vigilant Regarding Seasons And Needs
Expeditiously Get On With The Tasks At Hand! 

The Ergate Of The Ant Colony 
Will Never Be Found Exhibiting Sluggardly Tendencies 
Or Being Sluggish Unless They Are Dying! 

Do You Understand Why The Story Of The Ant 
Is In Scripture, Meldeane!?! 

Given What You Just Said, Ergate, I Would Say That 
We, As Working Christians, Should Know Our Tasks
The Times We Live In
And The Seasons In Which We Are Working And Its Requirements
And Choose To Be Proactive ... Not Reactive
And Boldly Dismiss Our Inner Sluggard! 

Well Said, Meldeane! 

Thank You, Ergate! 

Now, How About Adding 
Ask The Lord For Wisdom And Understanding 
To Use Knowledge Aright
And Recognizing That Death Is Always On The Foot!?! 

Death Is As Night 
And 
Night Is Coming When No One Can Work! 

Very True! 

Would You Like To Add Anything, Clotelle!?! 

Sure Thing, Ergate! 
Work Is A Benefit And Our Blessing! 
The Wisdom Of The Ant Is To Teach Us To Get Ready 
And Stay Always In The State Of Readiness 
Since We Never Know When Someone Or Something 
Will Work Our Destruction, Our Death! 

Indeed, Clotelle! 

On A Final Note
Consider That Our Readied Or Readying Work 
Is 
A Foundation, Plain And Good Food
Or A Substantial Feast For Many Others! 
Our Faithful Working Lifts Others To Life! 

As Apostle Paul Said: 
"I Sowed, Apollos Watered, But God Gives The Increase!" 

Both Paul And Apollos Labored, Worked, In The Lord's Vineyard
And Great Was And Is, And Will Be The Increase Therefrom 
Because
ALMIGHTY GOD! 

AMEN!!! 

Ergate Aka Worker Ant
I Like You! 

I Like You, Too, Meldeane 
And You, Too, Clotelle! 

Yeahhhh! 
Lovefest! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: The PEG!

 









Anybody Got A PEG!?! 

Gracy, What Can You Do With A Peg!?! 

Yes, Gracy, What Will You Do With A Single Peg!?! 

Mindy, Pandy, You Misunderstand!
I Am Not Asking About A Peg As In A Clothes Peg!
I Am Talking About The Capital PEG! 

Okaaay! 
So, Gracy Sweet Girl, What Exactly Is A Capital PEG!?! 

Glad You Asked, Jen-Jen! 
You Know When You Have "The Problem" 
And You Need Help Real Bad 
And You're At Your Wits' End 
And You Don't Know Whether You're Coming Or Going 
And You Can't Figure Out If You Should Stand Up Or Sit Down 
Like If Standing Isn't An Upper And Sitting Isn't A Downer!?! 

You Know, Right!?! 

Well, You've Been Praying But ...! 

... I Know That Feeling Very Well! 

Well, My Dear Ones, The Praying Is The Letter "P" 
But There Is No "E" and "G!" 

So, What's The "E" And "G!?!" 

Have You Ever Heard About That Lil' Thing That 
Everybody Needs To Succeed But Hates To Expend!?! 

Come On, Gracy! 
We All Know That One 
And I Had One Of Those Moments Today! 
I Had Laundry To Do, And I Was Hoping That It Would Do Itself 
Because "I Didn't Feel Like Expending The Effort!" 

People, We Have Got Ourselves A Strong "E!" 
Does Anybody Have Any Thoughts About What That 
Good Old "G" Could Be!?! 

Not A Clue! 

What About You, Mindy!?! 

Goose Eggs, Gracy! 

Here's A Free Clue: 
King James: Come Boldly! 

I Know, I Know! 

Yes, Jen-Jen! 

Come Boldly To The Throne Of Capital "G" For Grace! 

Very Good! 
So Our Capital PEG Starts Out With 
Our Faith First Calling Us To PRAY Without Ceasing 
While EXPENDING EFFORT To Do Those Things 
Which Almighty God Will Not Do For Us 
Because We Can Do Them For Ourselves
While Availing Ourselves Of The Invitation 
To Solicit The Throne Of Grace To Obtain Mercy 
AND GRACE To Help Us In Our Time Of Need! 

That Is Boss, Gracy! 
Can A Sister Borrow A PEG!?! 

That's A Hard "NO!" Mindy! 
Go Make Your Own! 

AMEN!!! 

Peace!
