1 It came to pass that the head of the household was without employment for five months, no six. The house descended into worry and doubt, and did not pay attention to the Word of the Lord as told to Matthew the tax collector.
2 So Randy of the tribe of Walker determined that the Lord was perhaps calling him to be His minister and musician. He worked with his pastor, a friend and the state association to locate the church wherein he should serve.
3 Lo, months passed with no fruit blooming on the tree of employment. The gardeners would not speak to him nor respond to his written queries.
4 In the twenty-second day of the first month of the final year of the reign of President George, the Lord came to Randy and said, "Your choice of work is noble and important to the Kingdom of God. I have been speaking, but your ears were closed. Your eyes saw not. I have not called you to church work. This profession is not a second choice. Stay where I have planted you. The Lord will provide."
5 Randy tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes. It was as the Lord had said. He was committing the sin of Abraham and Hagar as written in Genesis and solving the problem himself rather than waiting on the Lord.
6 Randy was contrite and pledged himself anew to trusting the Lord for all provisions. May it be as the Lord has said.
7 And there will be much rejoicing.
