“Ahem”
“Eh? What? Who’s that?!”
“Ahem, it’s God.”
“Oh. Hello.”
“I’d like you to do something for me.”
“Of course. Anything. You name it, I’ll do it.”
“Wonderful. I would like you to build me a boat.”
“A boat? You want to go sailing?”
“No. A big boat.”
“A big boat. Here, in the desert?”
“Yes, I can’t think of a better place to build a boat.”
“Ooookaaaay. You do realise that there are not many trees around here to use to build a little boat, never mind a big boat?”
“Yup.”
“And you do realise that I have never built a boat before in my life.”
“Yup.”
“And you do realise that everyone is going to think I have lost my marbles.”
“Yup.”
“And you still want me to build you a big boat?”
“Yup.”
“Why does it have to be so big?”
“Ahem, well, you are going to have some companions.”
“Some companions?”
“Yup.”
[God whispers in Noah’s ear].
“You have got to be kidding me God!”
“If I was kidding I would have started with ‘Have you heard the one about the bloke who built an enormous boat in the desert…'”
“So you are serious about this.”
“Yup.”
“Ahem. You know I said ‘You name it, I’ll do it’…”
Even God’s foolishness is wiser than the most intelligent human thought ever.
Be blessed, be a blessing.
