Ask a Pastor is Answering Questions All Weekend

Pastor Roland's car broke down and he does not have to work this weekend, so he is around to answer questions at Live Chat and to answer prayer requests.

He's been volunteering to help people cope with stress for almost 25 years. 


Besides it is the labor Day weekend and as a holiday special he will be answering your questions about life and relationship issues.

If you have a question to ask a pastor, here is your opportunity. Just remember that you must be 18.

Poems

Talk to a pastor?
Ask Pastor Roland a question
And he will give you an answer.

From Copenhagen to Key Largo,
From New York to Chicago,
Ask Pastor Ro.

My boyfriend wants to live together.
Do pastors always say "Never?"

Ask Pastor Ro.

What about Christian rock and tattoos?
In church, is it wrong to snooze?

Bible Question? Pastor says yes.
Find out for sure, you don't have to guess.

What's the purpose of life?
Why is there so much strife?

I don't know,
I'll ask Pastor Ro.

Got a question about religion?
Told a lie or cheated a smidgeon?
.
Got relationship issues?
Quit crying in your tissues.
Just ask Pastor Ro.

If you're dealing with a lot of stress?
And your apartment is a mess,
Don't hesitate,
There's no need to wait.
Ask Pastor Ro how to meditate.

Should I tell my kids about Santa Claus?
Was Jesus the greatest man who ever was?
When my cat died, where did she go?
Does anyone really know?

I'll ask Pastor Ro.

I'm taking drugs, but I really want hugs.
When I ask questions, everyone shrugs.

Who else will do this for me?
Pastor Roland is there for thee.


So get your question ready.
Hold your Ipad steady.
Click on the keyboard image,
And don't forget to eat your spinach.

He's got you covered in San Francisco,
Kansas and Texas,
Hello Frisco.
Rio, Toronto and Timbuktu,
Pastor Roland has answers for you,
And maybe a blessing too.

I need to Talk to Someone - a poem by Michael Carlos Simon

Why is the world such a mess?
I can't even guess.

Thank goodness someone is there.

My mom says I'm lazy,
My husband drives me crazy,
My meds make me hazy.

Thank goodness someone is there.

My girlfriend left me and my dog just died,
When they said "no lay offs" I found out they lied.

Thank goodness someone is there.

My rotten boyfriend cheated on me,
I'm so upset I can't find my key.
Oh woe is me!
I owe the library a 12 dollar fee.

I think I've got a mood disorder
Or is it just that my life is out of order?
I lost my cat, my meds made me fat.
Did I mention that I lost my key?


Thank goodness someone is there.

I started to gamble to try my luck,
I lost all my money down to my last buck.
Can you lend me a dollar to buy gas for my truck?
Thank goodness someone is there

I've got an ache in my molar,
And I'm feeling bipolar.
Do you think I should go solar,
Before I get my heater repaired?

I yelled at my kids and I got no excuse,
'Xcept I think I got the holiday blues,
After reading the latest unemployment news,
And I got rain in my shoes.

I know God is there,
He's up there somewhere.
But it's still nice to know,
That here down below,
There's someone like Roland who says
"I care."
