"There is nothing but stupid rocks in this wilderness, and when you accidentally touch them they just cry out "God". What the heck!?
Oh look, and that stupid bush is on fire. Sorry Lord I don't mean to run my mouth
You are a very very holy and God your works are amazing, I really do mean it. Your timing your and creation are magnificent.
But what the hell am I doing in the middle of nowhere?!
Is this one of those "it's not about the destination but the journey" type things? Cuz I aint buying it."
Mumbling to himself he goes ahead and squeezes drinking water out one of the rocks he kicked earlier.
"And another thing, what's this white stuff?? Why have you named this manna, or is it us that named it? And what's with the weird taste? I mean what is that, ugh. Also who made these rocks so wet that you can squeeze water out of them? It makes no sense!
W h a t t h e h e l l a m I d o i n g i n t h e m i d d l e o f a n e m p t y v a l l e y?!! How far til we get to Betlehem?"
He sits down.
"No that's it. I'm not walking further. We will camp here. Seriously, where is my wife in all of this? She is missing out all this fun freaking experience of the wild. Oh yay me and Daddy are going out for an adventure, He said I will meet my beautiful amazing wife to be here. Wow I'm so excited. Oh wait...I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT. I guess He forgot to mention that nobody hangs out in the desert, it's just us two and not us three(looking at you love), but us two, me and Daddy."
He starts setting up the tent.
"Stupid freaking desert, stupid wilderness, stupid rocks and more rocks, oh look a mountain of sand." Sigh.
"You know, it is kind of nice for us two to hang out yknow. I guess I knew exactly what was coming, I just didnt realize it myself. I dont really mind hanging out with you, I guess it makes sense that you are an outdoors kind of Father. And maybe the best way to connect with your son is by taking him where you feel at home. I'm sorry for running my mouth and calling you out on being here, it is actually kind of nice. It is pretty cool to stare at the stars during night time with you. Plus I've never once thirsted nor run low on food. I guess what I'm trying to say is I appreciate you Father, and I love you very much and I'm just a man yknow and I really want to love big. I guess I sometimes I am dumb enough to expect the same back from people and not you. I know well enough that your love is the only one that has ever changed me. Thanks Dad, I love you... Oh and by the way, this rock here" He streches out his hand towards the Lord, holding a small piece of white marble. "I picked this one up when we were setting up the tent. Its my favorite, I like the way it looks and feels, so strong and solid, like you Daddy."
The Lord smiles.
