REQUEST FOR TRANSFER

TO: Commander and Chief Spiritual Armed Forces, Jesus Christ

Dear Lord;

I am writing this to You to request a transfer to a desk job. I herewith
present my reasons: I began my career as a private, because of the intensity of
the battle You have quickly moved me up in the ranks. You have made me an
officer and given me a tremendous amount of responsibility. There are many
soldiers and recruits under my charge. I am constantly being called upon to
dispense wisdom, make judgments, and find solutions to complex problems. You
have placed me in a position to function as an officer, when in my heart I know
I have only the skills of a private. I realize that You have promised to supply
all I would need for the battle. But Sir, I must present You a realistic
picture of my equipment. My uniform, once so crisp and starched, is now stained
with tears and blood of those I have tried to assist. The soles of my boots are
cracked and worn from the miles I have walked trying to enlist and encourage
the instructed troops. My weapons are marred, tarnished and chipped from
constant battle against the enemy. Even the Book of Regulations I was issued
has been torn and tattered from endless use. The words are now smeared. You
have promised You would be with me throughout, but when the noise of the battle
is so loud and the confusion is so great, I can neither see nor hear You. I
feel so alone. I'm tired. I'm discouraged. I have Battle Fatigue. I would never
ask You for a discharge. I love being in Your service. But I humbly request a
demotion and transfer. I'll file papers or clean latrines. Just get me out of
the battle--please, Sir.

Your Faithful, but tired, Warrior.

To: Faithful, but tired, Soldier, Spiritual Armed Forces

Location: The Battlefield

SUBJECT: Transfer

Dear Soldier:

Your request for transfer has been denied. I herewith present My reasons: You
are needed in this battle. I have selected you, and I will keep My Word to
supply your need. You do not need a demotion and transfer. (You'd never cut it
on latrine duty.) You need a period of "R&R" --Renewal and Rekindling. I am
setting aside a place on the battlefield that is insulated from all sound and
fully protected from the enemy. I will meet you there and I will give you rest.
I will remove your old equipment and "make all things new." You have been
wounded in the battle, My soldier. Your wounds are not visible, but you have
received grave internal injuries. You need to be healed. I will heal you. You
have been weakened in the battle. You need to be strengthened. I will
strengthen you and be your strength. I will instill in you confidence and
ability. My Words will rekindle within you and renewed love, zeal and
enthusiasm. Report to Me tattered and empty. I will refill you.

Compassionately,

Your Commander-in-Chief, Jesus Christ

Umm, you forgot your pills this morning, didn't you??

BDK, concerned for your, uh, health.
