Hello, God Calling...
Sitting here at work, plinking away at the keyboard, and suddenly I get a very strange and uncomfortable feeling in my chest. It's a feeling I've never had before. It happens, then happens again, and I realize, OH MY GOD, I'm having a heart attack.
I put my hand to my chest. There's a lump there, and it's vibrating. What the hell?
My cell phone in my shirt pocket, set to vibrate instead of ring. I answer, only to find myself listening to a recorded message from the local Catholic church, asking for donations. Great, God has a computer with a war dialer and a modem. How fun. Calling every number combination possible, ignoring the fact that it costs me to answer.

"... So I got me a pencil and paper, and I made up my own little sign...
It said, "thank you God, for thinkin' 'bout me, I'm alive, and doin' fine.............." ;-)
To paraphrase a political blog I particularly liked,
"If you're doing God's work, he doesn't have a very deep bench, does he?"
Is it too much to ask the Supreme Being to do his own telemarketing?
