Dear God

Hi God. It is me again: The Witch. I don't talk to you as often as I'd like to, but I always try to make some room for you in my life. This morning I spoke to you and you came through to me in a big way. Yesterday you cakeame through for me as well. I haven't been feeling so well lately and it has a lot to do with my students and the fact that I can no longer establish a sturdy bond with them. As a result I often felt drained from the moment I actually open my eyes...but yesterday and today all that changed and it almost felt like the days when I was still close to my students...

Unfortunately, God, I failed you in a big way. This afternoon as I was on the train waiting for it to pull away from Cape Town station I made the mistake of buying a packet of chips from one of the vendors on the train. Unfortunately a misunderstanding had me thinking that he was a thief trying to deceive me. I recognise my folly after a while but I didn't correct myself, apologise to the guy or correct the woman I told about the event. In fact, I was so embarrased that I lied about it!

God, I am sincerely sorry about what I did. Lord, please forgive me for this sin that I have committed and Lord, I ask you with all my heart to bless that vendor abundantly. Supply to his needs and grant him his heart's desires. Look kindly on him, my Lord. He is a gentle, decent soul and not once during my battle of words with him did he say one word back to me. Bless him Lord. I feel that I should be saying more but right now I really can't think of anything more to say but to beg you to send only good things to this vendor. And also, to beg your forgiveness. Amen.
