This contest entry is very creative and fun to read. Not only that it's extremely well written. I definitely enjoyed reading. Thank you for sharing. I really wish St. Paul would come to visit and help me with my computer issues. Good luck with this contest, though I doubt you will need it. This poem is very good.

    Thanks, Barb. I'll send St Paul right over after he straightens out my mess.

Your poem was fun to read, Paul. You did a great job
with the rhymes, the meter, the descriptive words, and
the message. You brought God into the field of technology
in a respectful way. I could see everything you mentioned.
I liked how you referenced the Cloud and send all.
Best wishes in the contest.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

    Thanks, Jan. I'm sure God was looking over my shoulder when I wrote that one.

About time God caught up with the technical world. I counted at ten references to this 'new world' for Him. Thanks for the many laughs. For sure, this is a contest win.

well, that is certainly original and a human's look at solving one of God's possible problems. It is clever and the problem was thoroughly solved. I do believe it's easy to see you were a math teacher :) solving problems succinctly. Nice rhyming, too.

I loved this, Paul! It was so cleverly written, amusing, and very well done. My favorite kind of poem. You provided hilarious pictures of setting up His filing system with tech support from Saint Paul (well-known for his computer prowess, by the way). He came up with a very efficient system of organization to enable him to answer all the myriad prayers He's bombarded with each day.

Just brilliant! Jim

    Thanks, Jim. Maybe God can get a little R&R now that he is organized.

That was so funny, but then again, it could be exactly what He has been doing for millions of years and only now thinks His children are intelligent enough to use one. Lol. I can imagine a huge office up in heaven, that is solely for prayers. I loved this poem of yours, it's fun and perfectly rhymed. Well done! :)) Sandra xx

    Thanks, Sandra. I wonder who He has working in that office.

Well done! A combination of humorous, spiritual, modern and technological. I think somehow God knows what He is doing - how, I'll never understand. In Revelation it mentions that our prayers are kept in a "bowl" and are a fragrant offering! Must be a large bowl!!
You wrote it with great creativity and skill - sending best wishes to you for the contest.

    Thanks, Wendy. I think that bowl is the cloud.

Paul, the imagery of God setting up a computer program to organize our prayer requests is so humorous. The ending gave me a chuckle. But you could say that email has been in our inbox from the beginning. God loves us.

    Thanks, Ginda. I'm going to check my junk mail. I think my computer has been sending God's emails there.

LOL, Paul, your sense of humor and how the Lord works in mysterious ways is on full display in this poem. It is brilliantly conceived and delivered in full throttle to our funny bone. And often there is a truth found in humor. Very well done, and good luck in the contest. Terry.

    LOL, I read somewhere we were made in his image...so I am pretty sure he will. Terry.
