do you ever wish God had an email address? where you could just write in a quick prayer, and then wait for him to write back... sometimes i wonder what it would be like if he had an auto-reply for whenever he was on vacation. then, while i'm having these thoughts i'm reminded of the movie Bruce Almighty. the scene where Jim Carey (who is playing the role of God) is sitting in front of a computer, and he decides to make all of his prayers being received come in through email, and the inbox just keeps growing and growing with more and more prayers. if you haven't seen it, i suggest at least getting on youtube.com and checking out that scene.
i really think that that scene is such a great illustration of prayer life for God's creation. often we just throw up a small prayer here and there, or even big ones and we ask for things that seem to be unattainable. story of my life sometimes.
well, today i decided to try it.... you know the whole emailing God thing. so once i finished my prayer and was prepared to hit send, i fumbled upon a stumbling block. would God have a yahoo account or a gmail account? gmail... definitely gmail. it's the trendy thing. so i'm assuming God's email would be god@gmail.com.... so then i hit send.
within 30 seconds i had an inbox that held the subject line Re: Mail Returned Undeliverable and in the body of the email it read, "User god@gmail.com was not found, or does not exist." well, isn't that interesting. it's a good thing that i put my faith in the Almighty and not technology, otherwise i'd be lost.
what was sweet about my little test this afternoon, would be that even though i'm pretty stinking sure the Lord does not have an email (God-if you want to prove me wrong that would be SOO COOOL!), i know that he still received my prayer in his inbox.
what emails are you sending to God today?
