Now I know how Moses felt...

...minus the burning bush, the Red Sea, and that bit with all the plagues and stuff.

I had one of those "do the right thing" moments. I knew I had to do it but I really didn't want to. I was turning it over in my head all week. I wanted to move on but that little voice in my head wouldn't let me let it go.

GOD: I want you to do something for me.

DMG: Uh-oh...

GOD: I want you to...Wait a minute... Why did you say uh-oh?

DMG: Because I think I know what you're going to ask me and...

GOD: You're afraid.

DMG: Yeah...I'm sorry. I try not to be.

GOD: I know. It's okay. You can do this.

DMG: I really don't want to. Maybe someone else will say something?

GOD: You were there. I'm asking you. You know it's the right thing to do.

DMG: But I don't want to rock the boat... Bad stuff happens to people who do that.

GOD: Trust me. It will be okay.

DMG: I'm not good at this.

GOD: Yes you are. You can do it. A short conversation - that's all I ask.

DMG: (sigh)

GOD: I'm asking you to stand up for me. Will you do it?

DMG: ...okay...

GOD: I'll be right there with you the whole time.

DMG: I know...

Afterward...

DMG: I did what you asked. It wasn't as bad as I thought.

GOD: I know. Thank you! (pause) Now about that joke you told last week...

DMG: D'OH!
