Many times in my retirement, when I am troubled or confused,
I find comfort in sitting in my back yard having a scotch and a
cigar as I have a quiet conversation with Jesus.
This happened to me again after a particularly difficult day.
I said "Jesus, why did I work so hard?"
And I heard the reply: "Men find many ways to demonstrate the love
they have for their family. You worked 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."
