You did make that promise, long ago, in book 1 of Conversations with God, and I think it’s
about time You kept it!
And you promised to tell us about your life, and especially your experiences since the release
of those Conversations with God books, and you’ve only given us a smattering. So maybe we
should both keep our promises!
Coolness.

I left the county government for a job in the school system, after ten years went to work on
the West Coast with Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, eighteen months later started my own
advertising company in San Diego, signed on with Terry Cole-Whittaker Ministries there,
moved to the State of Washington a couple years later, migrated to Portland, then to
Southern Oregon, where I wound up living under the open sky without a nickel to my name,
finally found a job back in radio, three years later got fired, had a miserable time, then
became a nationally syndicated talk show host, wrote the Conversations with God books,
have had an amazing time ever since, and here I am.
Okay, I kept my promise, now You keep Yours.
I think people want a little more than that.
No, they don’t. They want to hear from You. They want You to keep Your promise.
Fine.
I made the world, created Adam and Eve, put them in the Garden of Eden, told them to be
fruitful and multiply, had some trouble with a serpent there, watched as they blamed each
other and misunderstood everything, later gave an old man a couple of stone tablets to try to
clear things up, did a little sea-splitting and miracle working, sent some messengers to tell My
story, noticed that nobody was listening, decided to keep trying, and here I am.
Okay, I kept My promise.
Cute. Very cute.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
Nobody has said that in thirty years.
I’m old, I’m old. What do you want from Me?
