Would Jesus Have Time to Have Coffee With Me?

Hmm, I just thought of something.

Would Jesus have time to have a cup of coffee w/me?

He's a busy man. People constantly bringing sick children or sick selves to him, touching the hem of his garment, climbing trees to see him 'cause they're so short they can't see through the crowd.

Plus, I think he might be doing some fundraising, too (seeds in good soil yielding a hundred fold).

I see people (one former college classmate in particular who shall remain nameless 'cause she's almost famous and I don't feel worthy to be dropping her name) who are too busy hanging out with movers and shakers to be hanging out w/the likes of me. (I woke up on the living room couch once to see her talking to Bill Friday on the teevee.)

Sure, Jesus is God and all, but he's in only one human body.

What does that mean, exactly? Jesus is too busy to have coffee w/me.

Ok, so now that I've mentioned it, he'll probably drop by one time to have coffee w/me, but that would only be to show that he can do it. He wouldn't have time to make a regular thing of it, like, say, every Weds. night.

Or... do we have to get all mystical now, and say that he sees every sparrow fall, and wherever two or three are gathered in his name, he's there, too (great quote, btw)? So, he's like the ultimate multi-tasker, like Garry Kasparov playing 32 games of chess simultaneously. Or it's like... he's 100% present at every conversation where he needs to be? Kind of like Schroedinger's cat?

Hmm. Fun idle thoughts. :)
