A Podcast Series

E5: Preacher Man

Thyme

Hi God.

God

Mornin’, Thyme.

Thyme

Boy, do I have a question for you!

God

Well then, let’s get right to it.

Thyme

The subject this morning is Preacher Man.

God

Aaah, the Reverend Josiah Washburn … Revered Minister of Skedee, Oklahoma.

Thyme

Ya’ know ‘im?

God

Well, of course I know him. I know all my children.

Thyme

Well I gotta question fer ya’ ‘bout him.

God

I’ll bet you do.

Thyme

What do you mean by that?

God

Well it’s obvious. He’s taken a shine to you.

Thyme

You think so?

God

I know so.

Thyme

Oh yeah, you know everything.

God

Yup.

Thyme

Well if you know everything then why does he look at me kinda funny everytime I see him Sunday mornin’ … both comin’ an’ goin’?

God

What do you mean “kinda funny?”

Thyme

Well you know, he starts at my toes an’ ends up at my eyes … an’ includes everything else in between.

God

Well, I guess he’s just lookin’ you over.

Thyme

But he’s a minister! A servant a’ God!

God

But he’s also a man too, is he not?

Thyme

Well, he is kinda cute!  But does he hafta look at me like that?

God

Yup.

Thyme

An’ jus’ why is that?

God

I expect he’s just lookin’ over the merchandise.

Thyme

Is that what I am? A piece a’ merchandise?

God

Well, you are awfully pretty an’ fun to look at.

Thyme

Well, I never.

God

You should be flattered, Thyme. Not shocked.

Thyme

Uh huh. OK …  (a pause of consideration) God, you really think he thinks I’m pretty?

God

I know it. He even puts you in his prayers sometimes.

Thyme

He does? Like how?

God

He asks that I make it so that you might notice him.

Thyme

Well, I guess you answered his prayers then.

God

No, I didn’t do anything.  He did all the work.

Thyme

Well, ain’t that somethin’ … Jus’ wait till I tell Lizzie. She’ll know what ta’ do!

God

I’d be careful with that.  

Thyme

Oh yeah? Why?

God

Well now, Lizzie Cranbottom, she’s quite the woman of the world. She may be a bit outta your league.

Thyme

(hurt feelings)

Now why would you say a thing like that.

God

Because it’s the truth an’ I tell the truth.  You don’t need Lizzie Cranbottom to manage your affairs d’amour.

Thyme

What’s that mean?

God

That’s French for in the matters of the heart.  No, trust your own instincts.

Thyme

I gotta think on this one. Looks like the ball’s in my court.

God

I’d agree with that.

Thyme

Hey, I gotta idea. Next time he looks me over, I’ll jus’ look him over back!

God

Sounds like a plan. I’ll enjoy watchin’ that!

Thyme

Well now that’s private. You an’ Lizzie better keep yer noses outta my Affairs Dahmor.

God

Good for you. Now ya’ got it. Go get him, Kid!

Thyme

He really thinks I’m kinda pretty …? God, you there? God?
