I Walked Along The Lonely Road Accosted On All Sides But As I Came To The Great Divide I Heard The Gentle Voice Speaking Saying:
Be Faithful
Walk Assuredly To Me!
Look Up
And
In Me Abide!
NOW ... I Had Heard That Voice Often Sometimes I Heeded Sometimes ... I Did Not But In Retrospect I Can Safely Say That In The Heeding I Carried No Worry I Tell You Not A Single Drop! The Lonely Road Had Been Lonely Indeed Every Soul Along The Way Was Concerned With Self AND Speed For The Way Is Fraught With Danger Distraction AND Disease AND Satan's Minions Acting As Rabid Fleas Dressed As Wayside Aides In Beautiful Brocades Dispensing Multicolored Tartly Sweet Free Refreshingly Cold Lemonade! Miscues Misdirection Myriad Miscellany AND Minutiae Of Own Way Self-satisfaction AND Glorious Inaction Are Found If One Makes A Left Turn To Walk On Broadway BUT Having Heard Of The Love Of Jesus AND Desperately Wanting To Get To Him AND Have Him Guide Me To The Golden Way I Stopped AND With All The Courage A Lonely Soul Can Muster I Said:
If You Are The Holy Jesus
Reveal Yourself To Me
And
I Will Follow You
Faithfully
Unto The End!
Suddenly ... I Was Out Of The Darkness! I Was Walking In Light! My Heart Felt Of Heaven Enraptured! My Faith Was Giving Me Sight! My Steps Were There Enlivened! I Was Walking As One Of Sin Free AND I Was Looking At Jesus' Face AND Holey Holy Hands Were Wholly Comforting Carrying Me! I Will Not Say That The Rest Of The Journey Is Uneventful For That Would Be Telling The Untruth For The Journey Is Not Yet Finished AND Satan and His Minions Are Very Much Walking About Lively And Loose! BUT ... Jesus Christ, The Lord Is My Shepherd My Help My Hope AND My Stay AND I Urge You When You Hear Him Your Name Calling Answer Him AND Let Him Direct Every Aspect Of Your Life Story On The Lonely Way Because ...
Mindy Gottit Grew Up Grossly Gratified Through The Gains Of Greed Generously Granted To Her By Grandfather Gottfried AND Granny Anne-Gel! The Gottit's Were Notorious For Being Gross Grabbits! "Thank You!" Was Not A Phrase Heard Used Amongst Them Neither Did It Enter Into Their Minds To Praise Anyone For A Benefit That They Received From Another's Hands! Yet ... Believe It Or Not These Gottit Grabbits Were Rabidly Insistent That Every Single Person - For Whom They Had Done The Merest Favor - Had To Bow And Scrape AND Kiss Their Rings AND Sing Their Praises Profusely Else They Be Called "The Ingrate!" One Fine Day ... The Most Important Personage In The Public D'Lordd Opened Up His Castle Stating That He Would Be Granting Requests To Those Who Willingly Made Petitions! D'Lordd's Castle Had Twelve - 12 - Gates AND A Note Was Affixed To Every Single Gate!
The Note On The Castle Gate One Said:
Ask - And It Shall Be Given!
Seek - And Ye Shall Find!
Knock - And The Door Shall Be Opened Unto You!
Gate TWO Said:
Give Thanks ... With A Grateful Heart!
Gate THREE Said:
By Prayer And Supplication
Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God!
Gate FOUR Said:
Oh, Give Thanks Unto The Lord For He Is Good!
Gate FIVE Said:
The Lord Bless You And Keep You!
Gate SIX Said:
Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!
Gate SEVEN Said:
Praise Is Comely!
Gate EIGHT Said:
All Of Your Help Cometh From The Lord!
Gate NINE Said:
Thanks Be To God!
Gate TEN Said:
Hallelujah Is The Highest Praise!
Gate ELEVEN Said:
Oh, Give Thanks Unto The Lord
For
His Mercy Endureth Forever!
Gate TWELVE Said:
No Good Gift Will Be Withheld!
No Surprise! No Shock ... The First Petitions Received Came Wholesale From Those Grabbits The Gottit's! They Had All Seen Gate ONE AND Like A Ravening Locust Horde The Grabbit Gottit's Got Their Got's On AND Grossly Gluttonous They Made Their Greedy Requests Known! Then ... A Strange Thing Was Seen Occurring ... The Poor The Peaceful The Polite The Widows The Oppressed The Distressed The Repressed The Demoniacs The Manic A Lawyer A Thief A Law School Teacher A Tax Collector The Town Whore The Hungry AND The Needy Were Seen Steadfastly Walking Around The Castle! Each Person Stopped Stood Firmly AND Faithfully Read Every Single Note On Every Single Door As If Life Itself Rested In The Then Viewed Note On The Current Door! As Full Understanding Dawned They Each Smiled Raised Their Hands AND With Blessed Assurance Each Went To The Door AND Made Their Petition Unto D'Lordd! As Time Passed The Grabbit Gottit's Started Spreading Talk Around Town That D'Lordd Was The Liar That D'Lordd Never Answers Petitions That D'Lordd Was Full Of Hot Air AND That They Wanted Nothing More To Do With D'Lordd! There Was A Fine To-Do Around The Town As Just About Every Body Who Had Walked Around To D'Lordd's Way Had Had Their Needs Met AND They Were Praising D'Lordd! Gottfried Gottit Washed Out His Mouth On D'Lordd Until ... Like A Proverb A Little Child Led Him To The Truth! That Little One Said In Bell-like Tone:
"If D'Lordd's Words Resided In You
And You
Had Resided In D'Lordd
Your Petitions
Would Have Been Received!"
BUT ... Said Gottfried: "I Did What Gate ONE Said To Do And I Got Bupkiss!" A Voice Was Heard Asking : "If You Saw A Gate Marked ONE What Should That Have Told You?" "That There Was Another Gate!" Those Assembled Cried In Unison! BUT ... Replied Gottfried: Going Looking For Another Gate Required Effort And I Just Didn't See Why I Should Walk Around! That Is Hard Work And I Pay People To Get My Work Done! Furthermore ONE Is My Favorite Number AND It Becomes My Station In Life! "Man, You Need To Humble Yourself Before D'Lordd!"
"Did You Open The Door!"
"Door?! What Door?!"
"ALL Who Go To D'Lordd
Must Believe
That He Is
And That He Is A Rewarder
Of Those Who Diligently Seek Him!"
"Huh?! Believe!? Who Said Anything About Believing?" "I Read That D'Lordd Gives Good Gifts AND I Like Presents AND The Note Said: ASK! AND I Asked! Nothing To It!"
"Didn't You Ever Receive Anything From D'Lordd?"
Yeah! Sure! But It Was Just Something Good That I Really, Really, Needed! A Voice Was Heard Saying:
He Just Wants The Bread And Fish!!
True!! True!! A Voice Asked:
Did You Give "Thanks!"
And Praise To D'Lordd
Just Like You
DEMAND
That Everybody Give You "Thanks!"
And Praise For Everything ...
... Including Their Paycheck
That They More Than Earned!
Why Should I Gottfried Gottit Say "Thanks!" For Something D'Lordd Asked Me To Ask Him For?! Why Should I Praise D'Lordd For Giving Me Something That He Offered Me!
Raised In A Barn!!
Who Said That? I Did! Said Ma Rainey! And I Cast Upon Your Head Your Charge Against Anybody Who Does Not Thank And Praise You According To Your Overblown Ideals! You - Gottfried Gottit - Are An Ingrrraate!! D'Lordd Gives Unto Us What In His Far-seeing Wisdom Is Best For Us! He Is Our Sovereign Lord And In Gratitude For His Unmerited Favor Toward Us We Give Willing Praise And Thanks!
That Gottfried Thinks He Is The Cat's Meow!
And He Believes His Requests Are Good Gifts To D'Lordd! Suddenly ... D'Lordd Is Noticed Walking Toward The Assembly!
D'Lordd!
D'Lordd!
Gottfried! Walk With Me! But, But, But, I Didn't Do Anything! Exactly! Now, Walk With Me! We May Never Know What D'Lordd Said To Gottfried BUT He Is A Changed Man AND A Real Change Is Being Seen Among The Former Grabbit Gottit's! They Are Turning Into The Gottit Givvitt's! They Give Praise! They Give Thanks! They Are - Out Of Thankful Hearts - Even Giving Gifts To Others AND Doing Missionary Work AND (No Need To Gasp) They Are Exuberantly Giving Glory To D'Lordd! As For The Princess Mindy Gottit She Is A Work In Progress For Old Habits - Just Like Bad Attitudes - Die Hard!
There Was A Snake Named Diplomat AND There was Diplomat Named Snake! Both Worked The Same Agenda For They Both Labored To Delineate Every Single Human's Fate! When Diplomat Couldn't Achieve His Game Pass He Called Upon Snake To Do The Follow Through AND With Snake Doing The Mesmerizing Diplomat Finalized The Territorial Agreements Of Nations And Kindred AND Tongues And People Many More Than Just A Few! Well ... It Was Inevitable That One Day Truth Would Come Walking Through The Door Followed Deftly By The Light Of The Ages With Wisdom AND Judgment Making A Heavenly Guard Whose Plain Words - Spoken With Integrity And Honor - Sounded To Wrongdoers Like Keys Opening Long Seized-up Rusted Prison Doors! Diplomat The Snake AND Snake The Diplomat Operate On The Basis That Greed Is A Necessary Human Function That One Upsmanship Is The Juice For The Fool AND Taking Candy From Kids Is The Tool Cruel AND Perfect Perfect Fuel! Open Your Eyes! Clean Your Ears! Hear The Hiss! Snakes Are Subtle AND Diplomatic Snakes Change Their Skin At Will! Trust Truth Even Though It May Hurt You! Utilize Wise Wisdom Even Though She Brings Forth Lessons Hard! Walk In The Light AND You Will Not Stumble BECAUSE The Judge Of The Earth Makes The Final Judgment! So Be Brave For Satan's Willing Workers Will Rumble Grumble AND Around Fumble AND Finally To Hell Tumble Down!
