That Time Howie Mandel Interrupted My Prayer

Frit and I think very differently. And as such, sometimes I tell her that I would like to spend a day inside her head. To which she replies, “You couldn’t pay me enough to spend an hour inside your head.”

Case in point: Today I  was driving to the TV station for my monthly appearance and my train of thought went something like this …

I need some music. [I turn the radio on.]

Oh shoot. I forgot to say my prayers this morning and I’m gonna need His help with this TV segment. [I turn the radio off.]

Heavenly Father: I thank thee so much for this day. I’m so grateful for my life. Please help me this morning with my TV segment …

That song on the radio sounded just like the song that girl sang on America’s Got Talent last night with T-payne.

T-pain?

Tea-pane?

Hm.

I wonder if he’s related to Tu-pac.

It was kind of a weird song.

I heard somewhere, or maybe I read it, that Howie Mandel is germaphobic.

Is the term “germaphobic” politically correct? Probably not. What do you even call someone who’s anxious about germs? There’s got to be a term for that.

If I ever met Howie Mandel, he probably wouldn’t want to shake my hand.

Not that my hands in particular are extra dirty, but hands in general do carry a lot of germs. I actually wash my hands a lot and use a lot of that anti-bacterial stuff. I’m probably borderline germaphobic too.

So anyway, how would I say “hello Mr. Mandel, pleased to meet you,” without a handshake?

Nugs?

Yes, I think nugs would work. Less germs on the top knuckles, I’d assume.

Well at least that’s settled. If I ever meet Howie Mandel, I’ll give him nugs.

Why am I thinking about Howie Mandel?

Oh right. The radio song that sounded like the song on America’s Got Talent, which I turned off because I needed to pray.

Oh shoot. My prayer. It’s still hanging in the air.

Heavenly Father: sorry ’bout that. I’m back. So … can you please help me with my TV segment this morning?

  1. I do that all the time, sometimes I wonder if God chuckels at where my mind wanders while i’m supposedly on the line with Him.

  2. I do this all the time! I’m walking from my parking spot to my office & I think to myself…shoot, I forgot again! So I start saying a prayer as I’m walking through the tunnel…and my mind wanders to the most bizarre things. Thanks for the laugh!
