Lollipop Cruise, Part 11: God Spoke Again

Bungee… Bungee… Bungee… stop… Bungee… Bungee… Bungee… stop…

Bungee… Bungee… Bungee… stop… Tim & Alicia were barely holding on…

Moderns and ancients smiled & softened when they saw this jumble of a family…

Combining ancients & moderns… so bonded… with lots of water & gas water.

Bungee was a camel…

She had a mind of her own…

Ruth & Ezra have been her owners…

For over two thousand years.

This is so very confusing… very confusing…

Right now it feels amusing… Let’s see why.

Tim & Alicia were seen as sweethearts…

By Hebrew Law, they’re kept separate… Holy is kept Holy.

Alicia sat on a seat nestled between Bungee’s humps… facing forward.

Tim sat on a seat hung from the back of the rear hump… facing backward.

…

Six younger brothers and sisters walked behind…. Followed by…

Dozens of Alicia’s friends… Ancient & modern chatted.

Bungee… Bungee… Bungee… stop… Bungee… Bungee… Bungee… stop…

Bungee… Bungee… Bungee… stop… Tim & Alicia were barely holding on…

Moderns and ancients smiled & softened when they saw this family…

Ancients & moderns… so bonded… with lots of water & gas water.

“I’m falling off my donkey,” shouted Tim’s mom Cheryl. She truly WAS falling off.

“He’s chewing my leg… I’m bleeding,” screamed Tim's dad Kalman.

“Yesss, Great… Mom & Dad feel like I’ve felt”... hissed Tim, clenching his fists.

“That’s cruel,” said Alicia. Ezra’s younger children liked his edgy humor.

They laughed and they laughed and they laughed and they laughed…

‘Til they no longer were able to see… Laughing so hard they clung to their camel…

So they wouldn’t fall a dozen feet… Ezra’s family laughed til they cried…

Alicia’s head tilted back… she watched the sunset colors glow…

Turned around… Tim viewed the same sky’s celestial show…

Minutes later stars… blinked their eyes open…

“Tim… I feel like I'm floating…

Up into the sky… I can almost touch the stars…”

“Me too… Me too… I feel like I can touch the stars… or at least Mars.”

“My God… Tim!”

“What?”

“Tim, the stars ARE getting closer.”

Bungee… Bungee… Bungee… stop… Bungee… Bungee… Bungee… stop…

Bungee… Bungee… Bungee… stop… Tim & Alicia were barely holding on…

Moderns and ancients smiled & softened when they saw this jumble of a family…

Combining ancients & moderns… so bonded… with lots of water & gas water.

As a waiter carries a large pizza on a tray… high overhead…

Bungee, Alicia, & Tim were raised & carried 2 dozen feet up… by Satan.

Purple Angel Satan took large steps and disappeared into the night.

Tim’s & Ezra’s family looked on… stunned, as the 3 vanished into darkness.

Despite stars overhead… lightning flashed in different distant locations…

Satan put the 2 humans & camel down…a silent light again engulfed Tim…

All squinted… it was unbearably bright… God spoke again,

“Tim, I’m proud you forgave your Dad…

You respected him & I by asking for forgiveness.

So, I’m bumping you up in the order…”

“What’s that mean, Sir?”

“Do I look like a “Sir” to you?

You’ve got resources the Messiah could need.

I’m giving you a 1000 soldiers and wealth… and Ezra’s family to guide you.”

Breathing hard, Ezra, Ruth, Joshua, Kalman, Cheryl, Joshua’s 6 siblings…

And lots of Alicia’s friends… caught up to Satan, Bungee, Tim, and Alicia.

They were relieved all was well… and shocked to hear God speaking to Tim.

Ezra knelt and prayed to God.

Ancients and moderns knelt or prostrated & prayed.

With 1000s of Angels, millions said,

“Odan Olam, Odan Olam, Kodesh… Kodesh… Kodesh… Adonoi Elohanoo, Adonai Elohainoo… Odan Olam, Odan Olam… Thank you for giving us life and meaning.”
