Listen to your Ass

This is the story of a man named B.  Just that.  B.  He had a donkey that he used for transportation.  The donkey carried B and often times many of the things B bought and sold.   The donkey had never let B down.  The donkey warned B of danger, and even protected him from a pack of wolves.  B and donkey were inseparable.  But at the end of the day, it was still an ass.  B also loved God.  B talked to God all the time.  One day, B was riding his donkey and the donkey saw an angel and threw B.  B was pissed.  B never saw the angel.  The next day, near the same spot the donkey saw the same angel and pinned B against a rock wall and stepped on his foot.  B was furious, he nearly kicked his ass.   B was so bewildered at this strange behavior.  A couple days later, on the return trip from a trading excursion, donkey saw the angel again and cowered into a little donkey ball behind B.  B was furious, he raised his hand about to strike donkey.  That's when donkey had had enough.  He said to B, "Open your eyes you blithering idiot!  Don't you see the angel standing in the path?!?"


B was dumbfounded.  His ass just spoke to him.  He turned and looked and sure enough, there was an angel.

Why did it take a talking ass to reveal an angel to B?  B loved God but failed to see God manifested in an angel right in front of him!  On several occasions!

Don't be like B.  Don't get so caught up in studying, praying, church attendance, or doing all the "right" things but fail to recognize God in real life when even an ass can see it.

This is a true story by the way.  If you believe in it.
