Many times when I am troubled or confused, I find comfort in sitting in my back yard and having a cold glass of beer along with a quiet conversation with Jesus.
This happened to me again recently, after a particularly difficult day.I said "Jesus, why do I work so hard?"And I heard the reply: "Men
find many ways to demonstrate the love they have for their family. You work hard to have a peaceful, beautiful place for your friends and
family to gather."I said: "I thought that money was the root of all evil."And the reply was: "No, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.  Money is a tool; it can be used for good or bad".I was starting to feel better, but I still had that one burning question, so I asked it. "Jesus," I said, "what is the meaning of life?  Why am I here?"He
replied: "That is a question many men ask. The answer is in your heart  and is different for everyone. I would love to chat with y ou som e more,
Señor, but for now, I have to finish mowing your lawn."
