Tony's blog: "No name"

I listen to my southern preacher and sometimes he speaks fast for a southern man, and he's going on and preaching and he says "sometimes God has to drag you there". Well I laughed. Hit me just right. I don't think he meant it to be funny, but all the same, most of the people listening laughed too. It was like a laugh with a tear. I love when that happens, when a preacher says something and it hits everyone just right, and we laugh in common union with each other. He wasn't trying to make a joke, or a funny, but he did, without even knowing it until that instance. He's dragging me, pulling, making me, just like a father should. Just makes me happy to know that. It's a warm feeling, I'd say comforting. Comforting to know that yeah I've done bad, this and that, but I have a Lord that's still making me do what He knows is right. Will I fail sometimes? sure. Our relationship is kind now. Strict, but I can laugh, and it's becoming easy to laugh. If I could write in the dictionary, I'd title that JOY!
