JOHN: God?

GOD: Yeah, John?

JOHN: I met a new friend.

GOD: Good. That’s one of the best things about PAC.

JOHN: And we were talking.

GOD: That’s another good thing about camp…time to just talk. Talking about what?

JOHN: You.

GOD: Good topic. I like that topic.

JOHN: He was so curious…he wanted to know about you.

GOD: Good.

JOHN: And here I was a counselor..

GOD: …yeah.

JOHN: And I didn’t know for sure what to say.

GOD: Oh.

JOHN: I’m sorry.

GOD: It happens.

JOHN: I mean, I talked, you know. I told him what a difference you’d made in my life. How I depend on you. How you help me when I’m lonely or sad. And I told him about how deep a friendship can be with somebody if we both have you in our lives.

GOD: What else?

JOHN: I told him I loved you. …and that you loved me. But I didn’t know what to say to help him understand. (a long beat, then) God?

GOD: I’m here.

JOHN: I’m sorry.

GOD: For what?

JOHN: For not knowing what to say.

GOD: What was it…I mean, just what was it that you thought you should have said?

JOHN: I don’t know. Like some people know the Bible really well and could have told him some scripture, but I don’t have it memorized like that.

GOD: So?

JOHN: I some people can preach really good sermons to people.

GOD: John.

JOHN: Huh?

GOD: He asked a question. You answered it. Plainly and simply and……beautifully.

JOHN: Really?

GOD: Just now….just now when you talked about your love for me…I had tears in my eyes. That’s a pretty good answer if it makes God cry.

JOHN: Wow.

GOD: Tonight….tonight there’ll be time to talk again.

JOHN: At the altar?

GOD: Yeah. But promise me something, would you?

JOHN: Sure.

GOD: Don’t….don’t talk too much. If somebody wants to know about me, just tell them what you know. Tell them about our friendship…yours and mine. Then let me take over.

JOHN: Nice.

GOD: Yeah. I know all the right words.

JOHN: (a beat, then) It’s gonna be good.

GOD: It’s gonna be real good.

JOHN: See you there?

GOD: I wouldn’t miss it.
