*** Hey guys!  I'm back again for chapter nine!  I figured I haven't done enough 'Sara' chapters, so here, have one! *grin*  Hmm…does anyone do forensics? (not the dead people kind.)  If so, yay for you!  Should I do a duo or an oratory? Back on the subject though!  Here's your chapter!  Only one more…maybe two, before I end this leg of the story! ***

Chapter Nine: Wonderings

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

God,

Hi there.  It's Sara here again.  As you know, I've been here by my bedside every night consistently, yet I've never really…questioned Your logic…never asked anything of You.  I guess that's a good thing in a way, because we should be trustful…but at the same time, my reasons for never doing such things were really pathetic.  For the last few months, I've been begging You to forgive me.  Well…I guess in a way, I have been asking something, but…that's not really what I meant.

Well, I'm afraid I'm going to finally break away from that cycle.  Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to beg for forgiveness (please!), but I'm finally going to start voicing my opinions.

I am extremely grateful to You for Trevor, and even Benny, that crazy dog of Laura's.  She's away in Maine looking at her new home and town.  Mom offered to watch Benny, so he's been here, having full rein of our house and loving it…and in a way, I think it's good for Joe too.  Since Laura's not here, he's substituting in her dog, which is kind of funny, yet sad at the same time.  In either case, he's been taking that silly dog everywhere with him.  The joke is that when Laura comes back, poor Benny won't know who's his owner!

But going back to the topic of Laura in Maine…what's up with this???  Excuse me, but I really have to question Your judgment here.  This just seems wrong.

Well…actually, that's a lie.

The thing that's wrong is that it doesn't feel wrong.  I hate and loathe the fact that she's leaving, but at the same time, something is telling me that it's really okay…that there's a reason and a meaning behind it.  Laura and Joe are really struggling with this concept, but I think that they feel it to.  We don't like it…but it's not wrong.

But that doesn't mean I think it's right!

…Well…I guess…maybe there's another family like us in Maine…and who knows, maybe there's another family like us here, and that's why she's leaving.  Maybe she's off to do what she does best all the way up in Maine, while me, mom, Joe, and Trevor are off to take the cue and start doing it ourselves back here…I wonder if this is how the apostles felt when Jesus died…well, probably worse because Jesus was dead and Laura'll just be away, but still…You know what I mean?

Well, I'll leave You with my musings, but I'll be back again tomorrow to bombard You again…and thanks for listening…

~Amen~

*** Wow!  Look at that!  So long!  I love the Sara prayers.  I just like the way she speaks.  *grin* Well…I guess Sara's her own person now, so she can speak how she wants.  I'm just the typing vessel. Hehe.  Review? ***

Speaking of reviews!

~~Mlle. Verity le Virago~~ Well, your name's still fun to say, even if it is slightly confusing.  Thanks for liking the analogy.  *grin*

~~lothlorien leaf~~ Why do you have a habit of smacking your head?  Oh well. Thanks for reviewing!  It's always appreciated.  *grin*

~~FireLady03~~  Yay!  I be glad you liked the butterfly thing.  Did you like this too?  Well, yes, I guess it does get scary when you think of it like that, but oh well.  At least God's a better … well…God, then Neo/Reeves.  *PHEW!* Haha.

~~Jaina Kenobi~~ Oh yay!  I am glad that you liked the chapter and will do the 'hello Gods'. *grin*  Joy worldwide!
