[TheMercenary]

Many times when I am troubled or confused, I find comfort in sitting in my back
yard and having a glass of wine along with a quiet conversation with Jesus. This
happened to me again after a particularly difficult day.

I said "Jesus, why do I work so hard?" And I heard the reply: "Men
find many ways to demonstrate the love they have for their family. You work hard
to have a peaceful, beautiful place for your friends and family to gather."
I said: "I thought that money was the root of all evil." And the reply
was: "No, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Money is a tool; it can
be used for good or bad."

I was starting to feel better, but I still had that one burning question, so I asked
it. "Jesus," I said, "What is the meaning of life? Why am I here?"
He replied, "That is a question many men ask. The answer is in your heart
and is different for everyone. I would love to chat with you some more, Señor,
but now, I have to finish your lawn."
