LPiA-22 Nov. 20

[Mark A Becker]

When I was 7
I had to stand in front of the class
after missing Holy Communion
to be told that I was
going to Hell.
By the time I was 12
my parents were called
to pick me up
because I was being
kicked out for asking
too many questions.

The other day I saw
a large white billboard
on the side of the highway
that said, in bold black letters,

"You asked for a sign

    -God"

And I had to smile.
