the fork in the road page 18 by ric gustafson
God was watching the TV screen. Just then, an assistant walked in. He whispered into God's ear. God frowned. " Ok, send him in".
His adversary walked in. He sat down next to the Creator.
" What do you want Lucifer?".
He squirmed in his chair. " I came to ask permission".
" Have you seen my servant Alvin". He smiled. " He has not crumbled or blamed me for his trials".
" There are more trials and temptations I could throw his way". He sneered at God. " That's why I have come to ask your permission".
" I will grant you one more try". He kept staring at the screen. " The next time I see you". His voice hesitated. " You will have no more chances".
" Agreed". He stood up to leave.
" Remember Lucifer". He grinned. " You can only harm him financially".
" I know". He walked out.
