One of my favorite things about Annie Lamott has to do with her conversations with Jesus.
I say “help me, help me!”
Or I say “Hi God,” I say “Hi Jesus.”
I get on my knees first thing in the morning. Actually I lie in bed for a little while with my dog and cat, my main prayer partners.
I just talk to God, and say, “Thank you” for the morning’s beautiful weather – it’s sunny or rainy or whatever – and [because] I’m alive, and warm, and safe, and I have these cute animals….
I have such an unsophisticated prayer and religious and spiritual life that I have a very immediate relationship with Jesus, so it’s usually to him that I pray.
I usually say “hi,” and I can just feel him say, “Hi, hi hon.”
Do you talk to God? Or Jesus? Or someone?
I try to talk to someone, but sometimes I forget and just talk to myself. I love the idea of Jesus calling me hon though. I might need to try this.
