God's Train Part One

Both of my parent's worked for the Burlington Northern in Butte MT. So it seems fit to make an allegory about a train in which God is the Engineer and we are passengers on His train.
   In the cars at different times are various people who we are related to, who are our friends or just innocent by standers that are caught up in our madness.
   There are unspoken rules to riding this train of mine. H.A.L.T.can ruin the trip. This was my past ride on Our Lords Train.
   I'm sitting in my car, looking at the beautiful scenery go by, and  listening to the conversations of the people in my car that day.. I didn't feel included in the conversations. Letter from my children telling me busy their life was busy with their own growing families and I felt forgotten and unloved. Everyone had someone to love Everywhere I looked people had a close friend, husband, boy friend. children, a job, and there I sat all alone (I thought) in my pain.. I got bored with the chatter that was going on around me. No one seems to notice me when I get up to find some thing better to do.  (Believe me they noticed me leave.)
   I began to walk through other peoples cars, watching them very carefully. I would stop and go for a least one month until I reached the engine.
   God looks up from the tracks, "Hello Terri what can I do for you today" he asks. (of course he already knows why I'm there, )  "Can I drive the train for awhile." I ask "Of course you can." he replies. He gets up and makes his way back to my car. As soon as some of the other people in my car see him sit in my seat they start to freak; some Say to God  "Why? Don't you remember what happened the last time you let her drive!!!!!!" He just smiles at their fearful faces and say's "Be still." Then he reclines the seat and closes his eye's. A few pull down the oxygen mask, others pull out life vests, some put on sear belts. (the kind in baby car and still others recline their chairs and pray.
   Meanwhile I start to get real sleepy because God's seat his Holy in his presents if your paying attention is very healing. I was so tired and feel asleep. I begin to dream.... I had got word that my brother Michael that he wasn't coming, and I couldn't figure out what I had done to change his mind and why he was so pissed off      .   I went to two friends of mines home. Lee a woman I've know for a long time, and her neighbor Neil. I hadn't seen Neil for a year. (We were lovers at one time) I could suerly get what I was looking for there.
 


The train jarred, and I woke up I had hit a Deer, there was blood all over the glass, limbs flew past car window's. Dwight saw a hoof. "Oh no where is she taking us now?" he grumbles. He reaches in his over head compartment and puts on a helmet. He wonders "How much of my wine did she drink oh Terri please just come back to your seat!" Dwight looks at God and shakes his head..............
