Memories of One Incarnation

David found God in the bottom of the sock drawer. His mother probably left Him there while she cleaned, years ago. One minute he was looking for matching gold-toes and there He was, curled up inside one of the ankle socks, purring away as He thought of floods and pomegranates. He winked one eye. He still had some life left in Him. David took Him out and held Him in the palm of his hand. After brushing some dust off Him, David began singing the only love song he'd ever memorized, "Leather and Lace" by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley. The Lord was touched. He nuzzled lovingly into David's hand as he sang.

David took God out into the world with him. He tried showing Him to people on the street, but an old woman smacked David with her umbrella and told him he ought to be ashamed of himself, treating the Lord that way.
