Divine Providence? |
Yesterday a mighty storm hit the area. For the past three years I have
harbored a gnawing fear that this massively old and tall pine tree towering
above both a structure I affectionately refer to as the 'Coop' -- and which
I happened to be sleeping in the night fire destroyed the farm house, thus
saving my very life -- and this 'prison-trailer' I'm confined to mostly,
would topple over and score a direct hit on 'moi'. Either that, or miss *me*
but do untold damage to the structures and what little I have left in the
way of personal possessions. I no longer have to fear being flattened, or
worse, severely wounded and having to suffer living the rest of my days a
mangled mess.
Well the storm took out an expensive two-line phone, a sound card, and a
modem. It also 'took out' the pine tree. When I looked over at it this
morning I found it toppled in the *opposite* direction and in perfect
alignment with the dirt drive-way. Nice job, Mother Nature!! An act of
Divine Providence, wouldn't you all say? Hell, it gets even better. Two
computers, another modem, a printer, a fax machine and other computer
related gear were 'spared' any damage whatsoever! My only beef with 'God'
now is: Why didn't you spare my expensive 'business phone', modem and sound
card?
What? What's that you say? You work in mysterious ways?!!! Well I'll be a
cotton pickin' product of Darwinian evolution!! Well thank you for being so
merciful -- even though considering my tortured existence out here, it
shouldn't be looked upon as 'mercy'! Mind if I ask why you would do such a
nice thing for a cotton pickin' atheistic product of Darwinian evolution?
What? What's that you say? You're not real? You're purely make-believe? Well
how do you explain that tree not falling on and squoooshin' me? What's that?
What's that you say? Dang if you aren't right! A right-wing evangelical
would attribute the tree scoring a direct hit on me, and in turn my
'passing', to you working in 'mysterious ways'. The same answer he or she
would give in the case of the tree *missing me* -- which it did. Can't
'lose' with *that* answer, now can you? Dang, you got an answer for
everything, don't you? Quite impressive for something anyone can make up
anything about and not have to prove a word of it is true. Just like my
little 'chit-chat' here with you. Scary, ain't it?

Dude! Glad you're not treed!
Really.
But don't read too much into this: God has notoriously bad aim,
after all. As Mark Bilbo points out, when God took aim
at the sin-soaked, gin-soaked, gay-drenched French Quarter,
He missed entirely, and leveled a bunch of Catholic churches instead.
So, maybe God WAS aiming for you, but ... well, to be
frank, I think His best caber-tossing days are behind Him.
Glad to hear you're not pulp.

Dude! Glad you're not treed!
Really.
Luck of the 'draw', isn't it? Things could have gotten sooo much worse. But
in the end, I'm still in an absolutely horrid state of being out here. And
there's still no end to it. There's not the *slightest* bit of remorse being
shown me. It's just 'full steam ahead' with their awful plan to 'punish' me
for not believing in the 'faith' they're making tremendous strides in making
a pathetic mockery of.
But don't read too much into this: God has notoriously bad aim,
after all. As Mark Bilbo points out, when God took aim
at the sin-soaked, gin-soaked, gay-drenched French Quarter,
He missed entirely, and leveled a bunch of Catholic churches instead.
No doubt some members of the clergy were secretly showing porn films in em'
and using them as brothels, don't you think? That would explain their
destruction, wouldn't it? What else could account for a loving 'God' to
destroy his 'houses of worship' -- and in some cases, with the 'worshipers'
still worshiping inside em'!
So, maybe God WAS aiming for you, but ... well, to be
frank, I think His best caber-tossing days are behind Him.
Well you can't expect a 'God' who never even had a 'beginning' to be in
tip-top tree-toppling shape at his age, I suppose. Gotta say he did a
tremendous job of 'positioning' the thing, though. Couldn't have done better
with a chainsaw.
Glad to hear you're not pulp.
Thanks. It *is* one less concern I have to deal with now. If only my ordeal
out here could come to an end -- one way or another. Just sittin' here and
taking it without let-up is just too much. When will this ever end? The
dirt-bag Culture of Vice and Corruption Washington Republicans are now
starting to rapidly fall to the wayside. You just wish the ones out here in
Marinette County would do the same. These people haven't a conscience. These
people have no scruples. These people are amoral. But they sure do love the
Lord. You can be sure of *that*!
