you amaze me Rick…even though you don’t own a Bible
Rick recently changed jobs. He did this after I encouraged him to make himself happy, I can’t speak for what he was feeling except to say that he wasn’t so thrilled with one co-worker of his and it was causing undue stress. However, prior to quitting his job or dumping all the financial strain on me, he chose to get another job. He’s still a driver for a moving company. He started his new job a few weeks ago.Today he called after his first assigned “job” at work to tell meRick – Guess who was at the first job?Me – (name of former co-worker)
Rick – No, your ex
Me – Uh..how’d that go
Rick – he was there helping his preacher move, the preacher gave us a $2 tip.
Me - $2, why bother?
Rick – yah I know, kinda hard to do anything with $2 and several guys to split it with
Me – Were there any problems with “ex”?
Rick – No, not really.
Me – “was he nice?”
Rick – I guess, but he tried to “save me” with his Preacher.
Now, I can say that Rick is always a true man. He never speaks up and he never gets invovled in anything related to my ex-husband. But they (as in the preacher and the ex) tried to SAVE Rick.
This is hilarious to me. My ex trying to save Rick. I told him “Did you ask him if finding Jesus means you cheat on your wife with the nextdoor neighbor and then write bad checks and lie to everyone?” Rick’s response, “No.”
I am 110% sure that Rick just knodded along and excused himself. Rick’s far too nice to ever tell my ex off. And Rick is far nicer than I will ever be regarding my ex. I suppose 12 years of abuse makes it hard to be nice. However, I don’t think Ricks innate kindness makes him any less of a man, after all he was diligently working today while my ex was dithering away helping his pastor all while claiming indigence with the county court system and saying he has an alibi for that recent bad check. He goes to court at the end of the month, I wonder what Jesus would do…would Jesus write bad checks? Last I checked my ex doesn’t have an actual job.
Nothing against Jesus, I just don’t think he’s helped my ex one iota. And what are the odd’s that my ex-husband and my current husband would be at the same place at the same time for the same purpose all of which did not involve me at all? Odd for sure.
Also, would Jesus tip 4 movers $2? I think not. Will Jesus save my ex from a stint in jail? We shall see later this month.
I find it amazing that Rick’s a great guy working hard today like he does every day and one total loser thought he needed saved and that he was the one to do it. If being all “Sister Christian” makes you like my ex I think I prefer my husband to be an athiest. An athiest with morals and compassion and enough kindness to not get angry with the ex today and kick his ass. Jesus would do that and today Rick did that without Jesus.
I love my husband. The current one that is.
