This chapter is wonderful, and I just thought I'd share some favorite lines. But first, what a wonderful use of that "love is patient..." verse.
This will be short because I’m kind of busy….prom season.
even though I’m the Master of the Universe….I don’t believe in spoilers. Deal with it.
Man, you guys look for hints everywhere, don’t you? Yes, God. Yes, we do.

I went looking, and realized I'm not caught up on this, so... yippee!
I love this one with Roy. This is incredibly good.

Sheesh, sometimes God can be so full of himself. "Just remember... I was right about this." Yeah, yeah. We get it. Know it all! ;)
Anyway, very sweet. I love the multiple interpretations of the meaning of the yogurt lid! And I'm glad he's taking mercy on Karen with the lightning bolts. I'm sure her day has been crappy enough as is!

P.S. Despite the large volume of requests I've received, I will not be sending a lightning bolt Karen's way.
*glares* Fine. But will you send one Ryan's way? I really don't like him...

Is it wrong that even though I'm probably too old to be writing fanfiction, I totally squee each time I get a review?
No. You are just the right age to be writing fanfiction. Please continue!

I like you, God. *laughs* No, I really do. You do such a great job on this fic, GodinthisChili's. Thanks!

Just remember…..I was right about this.
Love never fails
Amen. This is lovely and exactly true. Love!

Dear God.
Thank you.

I feel a little intimidated leaving feedback, for you, God, but thank you for explaining yourself so eloquently here. For an omnipotent supreme being you communicate with such a direct, low key style, and of course I appreciate you giving us insight into your thinking process.

That was some truly inspired fic my friend. I imagine you are one happy camper (as we all) are tonight :) Please continue this series!

Wow, that was extraordinarily beautiful. I love that Bible verse, and the way you put quotes from the show in between...perfect. Hopefully we'll hear back from the Big Guy after tonights finale!

Hey God, you rule!
And you already know that HooHusband and I had that verse read at our wedding (us and about a zillion other couples). But the reason we chose it is because of a story our pastor told, where you read those verses, and insert your SO's name in place of the word 'love'. HooHusband thought that 'LisaHoo is patient, LisaHoo is kind' was really funny. Great. So to carry that forward, just sub in 'Pam' or 'Jim' and see what you get.
Seriously. You are brilliant.

Wow, I really love this story. I just read through all of it because I haven't had time to read fan fiction while I was away at school and I am so happy that I chose this story as the first I would read.
I especially loved this chapter because I'm anxiously awaiting tonight's finale but I'm also a little scared about what might happen (or not happen) between our two favorite love birds. The explanation from "God" in your story really made me feel better about it, though, no matter what happens. So, thank you for making me realize that it's not the end of the world if Jim and Pam don't end up together tonight...lol.
This is a fantastic story. I hope you continue with it for many more chapters :).

We read that verse at my wedding. This actually made me tear up. Just...lovely. You're doing wonders for my hopefulness!

Awwww, Roy. You did a nice job with his character - mindful of his faults but aware that he's genuinely a good guy at heart. And you gave me hope that everything will turn out okay for him someday.

How old is too old for fic? I'm not exactly a teenager, myself.
I like your Roy, here. He's very, very sweet.
Author's Response: I think I'm just feeling old in general today. It happens when you work with 13 year olds. Thanks for your comments about Roy. I think Roy has the potential to be a really sweet guy.

Awww! Glad to hear that God hasn't forgotten about Roy. Because it looked like he had for a bit there. I miss him a little.
Author's Response: I really miss Roy too. I think he added an interesting dynamic to the show. I have to admit that I have a lot of stuff saved up on my DVR and this past Saturday I was looking for something to watch and chose a Close to Home from about 3 weeks ago. Well, David D. was in it and I was really excited until I realized he was a date-rapist....but he did an amazing job showing the type of regret that I don't think we got to see enough of on the show. Thanks as always for your comments.

You know, as much as we all hate Roy and typically see him as "the bad guy," you make a lot of good points in this chapter about his character. It's not that he's evil, he's just wrong for Pam. He's like...big clunky boots when she much prefers her Keds. Did I just make a shoe metaphor? Anyway, as always, I know I'm not supposed to idolize other Gods, but your version of him is pretty lovable ;) Great job!
Author's Response: I LOVE your shoe analogy! That's it exactly. Thanks for your review!

Oh Roy. This is awesome - because Roy isn't quite the jerk they orginally made him out to be. And I am sure there's an Atlantic City in Roy's past. No question.
Really enjoying this.
Author's Response: THanks so much for your review. I think there's an "Atlantic City" in a lot of the characters past. Heck...maybe they all went together.

Ooh, such an insightful chapter! Cool to see what lies underneath their motivations to do certain things, and what God would forgive unquestioningly versus what he thinks they should work on.
Author's Response: So glad you liked it. Thanks as always for your reviews.

Delightful! Funny and kind, which is really hard to pull off.

Ok, Pam, Jim -- I have a message from God here for the both of you: Stop lying to yourselves and each other and get it together already! That is all.
Author's Response: Exactly! I'm with you, lisahoo!
Date: April 30, 2007 03:07 pm Title: Shalls and Shall Nots
I so love this. I love God as the objective voice through all this - telling us how it really is. This chapter and Christmas were my favorites thus far.
I’ve found, though, that the life (and love) that’s worth anything at all is full of the lessons that you gain by sinning and by being forgiven.
Me too. :)
Author's Response: Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm glad you are enjoying this.

big "looser" bassoon - I think you mean "loser", as in, someone who loses, not "looser", like less tight.
My favorite was the Jim/Karen argument; I loved this line: "Karen, on the other hand, could stand to clean up her language just a little." Haha!
I like that God has a little soft spot for Roy, and the little Jim/Karen adultery section.
In the Pam coveting section, this sentence "She has lazy Sunday afternoons on his couch and buckets of fast-food chicken" made me think "but does she have ketchup fights?"
This continues to be just such an interesting story.
Author's Response: Thanks for that. I don't know what a loose bassoon is and I'm sure I don't want to know. Glad you are liking the story. I have a soft spot for Roy, so I guess that explains why my God does too.
