Questions from My Inner Child
Simple and complex questions I've wondered about.24 total reviews

Hey Beth. Great line of questions. Did you mean to say interpreting or interrupting early on in your poem? For me, as an adult, I think the second coming happens each time a person dies. It's his coming to Jesus party so to speak. I hope that child received the answers she was looking for. Nicely done.

Thank you for the nice review. I appreciate you calling my attention to fact the word checker changed my word when I had an error in the spelling. I enjoyed your comments. The final answer to the questions are still up in the air. I hope to know someday.

Comment from Marienkiefer
Interesting exploration that compels readers to consider not only how questions arise, but where they come from. Often God does not give the answers right away, but reveals what each person needs to know at the right time.
-Your story appears to slant toward the knowing and the not knowing, the revealed and unrevealed. Also, knowledge that comes in the most unlikely forms and and from the most unlikely places.
-Readers warm to your story as you lead the discussion to the possibility wisdom that emerges from not knowing, perhaps.
-Nice progression of theme and evolution of reasoning.
-Effective conversational tone that sets the stage to engage readers.
-Would you consider more variation in paragraphs that begin with the repetition of: I?
A thought provoking piece.Much to think on, an enjoyable read.

Thank you so much for an excellent in depth review. I really appreciate your comments. You are correct that I did began a lot of paragraphs with the word "I". Thank you for pointing that out. I've gone back and started several of the paragraphs a little differently.

Some sing By and by we shall know. But we do know, the scriptures teach us all is well to those who can believe. In doing a job needed, it is always done right when doing it yourself. Remember, "Let us make man in our image and likeness." Who is us? Good one, Beth. Hope it wins.

Thank you for reviewing this without indicating you think my questions might be too childish. I'm concerned some may try to set me straight on the way I see things.

God is who He claims to be. We are made in His image, We are created from an egg and sperm, nothing more.
We have a choice, either learn our creator's will for our lives or not. We are created with the freedom of those choices. We can either accept His Son
and live again through obedience or refuse and parish never having the luxury of eternal life. I like His idea of living again. Now I must learn to listen to His voice saying, "This is the way.:"

This is an absolutely beautiful letter to God in the dear God contest. I wish you the very best your inner child came through very clearly in your story. I truly believe that one day Jesus Christ will return, and he will gather his children to him in the air. Have a blessed day, and may God richly reward you for the many wonderful things that you have shared with others about his love for them Patricia.

Thank you so much, Patricia. I'm pleased you think I'd didn't step out of line writing this. These are sincere questions but I wondered how they would be received. Thanks so much for the six stars.

I am sure that there are some who may not receive your work well. But I also I?m sure that God will really recognize your heart and that you will be repaid for the things that you have said you?re on fan story.
