The Attorney (part 1)

Though the attorney opened the door to enter the car, his constantcompanions entered without having to do so. They shuffled along just as hurriedly as he. Their spirit papers tucked in briefcases along with their longtime case records clutched securely in their grasp.

The attorney mulled over the details in his mind during a solitary lunch--or so he thought--but he was not alone. He was never alone."What an idiot," he whispered to himself. "All he had to do was tell me and I could have revealed this information in court."

"Tough day?" the waitress overheard her customer.

"Oh just another stupid criminal. Doesn't realize when to quit lying and tell the truth. Then they wonder why we can't give them a decent defense." One of his companions opened his briefcase and retrieved a freshyellow pad and pen. On the clean surface he wrote "Negative response, idiot,stupid, liar." On a separate pad he wrote under credits "Three negativejudgments, one gossip." He looked over at his counterpart who just lookeddown.

The Man continued his torment over the compromised condition of hisalready fragile defense. "What now?" he again spoke audibly and shook hishead.

The same companion leaned over to his assigned and spoke. "What are yougoing to do now?" The man again shook his head. The spirit wrote "Fearful."

The other companion moved closer to the person of his focus. "You cando it, you're good at this. Don't let one little upset throw you a curve."

Hope filled the attorney's eyes. "Yes, I can do it," he spoke. Thepositive spirit wrote "Faith"

The attorney made a few quick notes between gulps of food he barelytasted. The waitress was attentive, so he left her a nice tip.

"Generous" was written under credits by the appropriate spirit.

The "Down on your luck, buddy?"

question made to the dirty homeless man in the parking lot added an"Understanding" then the payment of an ordered meal for the unfortunateperson caused a "Compassionate" to join the list.

Now speeding, he wasn't sure how the moron in the next car could havefailed to see him and change lanes, cutting him off, even tagging his new car.

Now he's later and with a scrape across the new car's beautiful emeraldfinish. Sweat ran profusely down his forehead and neck. The negative spiritwhispered in the man's ear. "Make him pay."

"Look buddy, this is going to cost you. Why don't you watch where you'regoing? Man, my wheel alignment will never be the same! This is a brand newcar. No, I'm not in a big hurry. This is your fault. Don't blame this on me!

Just give me your name. I'm an attorney. I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. No, you'rethe one that is confused."

"Rude, one credit. Lying, one. Material idol, one.

Lack of forgiveness, one. Pride, one. Conceited, one." All wasneatly recorded through the hands of the one smiling, revealing pointedteeth. "Big score," he mocked.

Now back in the car and on his way, the man dabbed his brow. "Thistraffic," he grasped the steering wheel, straining around to see if he couldchange lanes. "Impatience, one."

"Calm down," The positive spirit looked into eyes that had no idea heexisted. "Ask God to help you."

"God," the man repeated at the thought he believed was his. "Every timeI do, He ignores me and then my life gets worse. He doesn't care."

"But He does, maybe there's a reason it seems like He doesn't," theLight Spirit continued. "Maybe something's fighting you. Pray."

The Gray Spirit checked his records and found "Confusion." He checkedit off then prompted. "Yeah, life. Who could you be fighting? You're not goingto go over the whole unseen forces thing again, are you? How stupid. Likeyeah, there's something you can't see. If there were, why would they bebothering you? Why pray," the Gray Spirit reminded.

"Maybe they're fighting to keep themselves in the world longer." TheLight Spirit engulfed the man's presence. "To keep man from fulfilling all thethings God needs them to, so that the end is delayed. If someone were goingto be put in a lake of fire wouldn't they fight against it? Think,pray."

The man wondered, then shook his head. Gray Spirit then wrote "hardenedheart." No prayer today, he recorded at the top, next to the date
