I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes.
I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over.
I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong.
And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions.
I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely.
It's what we do.

There's a New Pope.
Yes, I know... It's an old pope, one or other of them.
Why they pick an old fella, beats me! They'll probably have to go through all that nonsense again in very near future! Money ill spent...in my humble, uneducated opinion!!
I applied for the job myself. There were a couple of snags, apparently you're expected to be somewhat religious! And a catholic, and a cardinal. And I couldn't wear my old boots to work, they said, red shoes. Red shoes. The angels wanna wear my red shoes.
So I withdrew my name from the hat, and the old bloke got it.
I disagree, I'd argue that if it's god's will that he is pope, then he'll survive in the role just as long as god wishes. And if god thinks it's time for a change, then that bulletproof glass will part like the red sea.
Seriously, bulletproofed glass is for ordinary people.
4 inch-thick parking-attendant booths with an old man on a commode? Pah.

A customer left her cross today to be cleaned and admonished the sales clerk to not lose it saying, "It has been blessed by the Bishop!"
ReplyDeleteIn response I retorted, "Well I've been blessed by God Himself." My co-worker chimed in, "Blessed and Favored, Girlfriend .... Blessed AND Favored."
That's all I have to say on this subject.

I am, I'm reliably informed, made "IN HIS IMAGE".
DeleteBe overawed, tiny mortals.
Between us, we make 'My cross has been blessed by the Bishop" fade into triviality.
Made in his image.
Wear dark glasses, and tremble, Lady.
Stop that snickering at once.
Unfair criticism. Christians have always shown faith in God and been attacked violently for it by those who are afraid.
