Don’t say I didn’t warn you. ;>)
God rarely tells me what he’s doing.
But he’s always ready to show me what he wants me to do.
Some years back I landed an invitation-only spot in a workshop at CBS. It was peopled by up-and-coming comedy writers and would serve as a think tank for new TV sit-coms. Yes, I was excited. Like, diarrhea excited.
I lived an hour away, so I did my morning God-talk on the freeway en route. One morning several weeks in, I asked God what He wanted me to do.
Big mistake.
Almost instantly I sensed that he wanted me to tell my new R-rated friends about Him. Being a man of faith, I replied, “No. What else you got?” Silence.

Part of my journey with cancer was listening to God tell me to not stop being me. He didn’t want to see me play the ‘sick’ role. He wanted to show the world that with Him everything is possible. With my closest family 12 hours away (in another country) just four months after my divorce was final and two young children still at home. God wanted people to see that it was THROUGH THEM that He does His best work and that we all are truly the arms and feet of Christ.
