God's Time
A man is praying to God. "Lord," He prays.
"Is it true that to you a million years is but a second?"
"Yes." The Lord says. "That is true."
Then he asked, "Well then, what is a million dollars to you?"
"A million dollars to me", says the Lord, "is but a penny."
"Ah, then Lord," says the man, "may I have a penny?"
"Sure,", says the Lord, "just a second."
