Havin’ A Talk With God
A Podcast Series
E19: The Proposal

Thyme

Well, he finally did it!

God

Well, aren’t you even gonna say good morning?

Thyme

Too excited for frivolities!

God

Understood. Congratulations!

Thyme

Well, I guess we did it, huh?

God

I did nothing of the sort. You and Josiah get all the blame.

Thyme

Yeah, he finally popped the question. Jus’ think, I’m gonna be Mrs. Thyme Washburn!

God

An elegant name for an elegant lady.

Thyme

I told him I’d think about it.

God

You did what?

Thyme

Well, it’s a big decision!

God

Oh, c’mon, Thyme. It sounds to me like you’ve already decided.

Thyme

Well, I have an’ all. But I thought I’d play it all out to the hilt.

God

Oh Thyme, are you sure you wanna do that?

Thyme

I was jus’ playin’ with him. You know, jus’ havin’ a little fun ...

God

You think that was fun for him?

Thyme

Well, now … I guess yer right. He got inta’ that stutterin’ thing he sometimes does when he gets excited.

God

I don’t think he was excited, Thyme. He was confused. You gave him every indication that you would say “yes” and then you turned the tables on him. Maybe that was not the right way to start a marriage. This is a serious step you’re taking, and maybe it’s just not the time for playing silly little games.

Thyme

Why, God, I think yer bawlin’ me out.

God

You could call it that. 

Thyme

I was jus’ teasin’. He knows I love him sooo much!

God

Well right now you have a fiancé who is nothin’ but disappointed. Hurt … an’ wonderin’ if he made the right decision in the first place.

Thyme

He told you that?

God

He didn’t hafta tell me. I already knew.

Thyme

Well, that’s right. You know everything. (Beat) Hey, you knew ‘bout this all along! You jus’ played me, didn’t cha?

God

Yeah. An’ how’d it feel to get “played?”

Thyme

Not very nice.

God

Time to grow up, Thyme. I put a lot of trust in your good mind an’ sweet nature. There’s big things in store for you. Ya’never really know what’s comin’. Time to grow up.

Thyme

Oh God, I’m sorry. Ya’ think I blew it?

God

Well, let’s just say you got some repairing to do. Ya’ got a pretty discombobulated fiancé over there doin’ a lot of wonderin’ … at this very moment.

Thyme

Oh Lordy, what do I do now?

God

I’m not gonna help you get outta this mess. You need to dig deep and an’ figure it out for yourself. How much you want this, Thyme? What are you gonna do to make this work?

Thyme

I’m gonna get on over ta’ that church right now, throw my arms around that big lug an’ tell ‘m I accept! Then I’m gonna start kissin’ ‘im till he can’t stand it no more.

God

That sounds like a start. You might also take him a big slice a’ that Jonny cake you were bakin’ last night.

That’s a grand Idea! Lizzie always says , “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!” Now please excuse me God for cuttin’ this meetin’ short. I got work ta’ do. An’ thank you fer settin’ me straight.  I won’t let ya’ down. An’ I won’t EVER let him down neither. Gotta go. See ya’ tomorrow. God … God … Oh never mind.
