Entry 00001001: He Sees You When You're Sleeping...

So,  I got to thinking about God as I am apt to do from time to time.  And I wondered if in his omnipotence, he ever exercised or exuded a sense of humor.   Right off the bat, I think he'd laugh at me classifying him as a man.  That may have been his human form, but that classification is hardly omnipotent.  In any case I wondered what he must be thinking about the current state of world affairs?  But we'll come back to that in a sec. 

I have faith.  And despite most people's assumptions about where it comes from, I know exactly where mine comes from.  I know that the Lord is not like some genie, granting us wishes, as we please, but sometimes we still ask.  And I know that he will answer my prayers, when I have them.  The answer he gives may not be the one I hoped for or even expected.  But either by action or inaction, he has answered me.  When God hears my prayers, I like to think that he has my dry, satirical sense of humor, and is applying it to his thought process.

Greg - "God, I need to win the lottery." 
God-  "Yeah... You can't even handle the money you do have." 
Greg - "Doh!"

Or how about this oldy, but goodie:

Greg - "God, if you just make the (pain/hangover/bad news/etc.) go away, I promise It'll never happen again"
God - "There's a natural disaster happening in Asia right now, but it can wait.  No wait. It can't, Deal."
Greg - "God? Hello?

So as God is Omnipotent, I can say without fear of his wrath that he understands my thought process and can even laugh about it, when he wants to.  For if he created us in his image, everything we are is he.

Now back to God's take on the world right now.  Obviously his fundamental message by now has been misinterpreted by leaps and bounds.  He'd probably say, "So, 10 Commandments wasn't enough?  You had to go and make rules and boundaries and denominations and sects.  And then you go and top that, by blaming me for this mess.  No Way Jose!  I will be back after you've cleaned this up, and it will be cleaned up, right!" (because that is how most parents speak to their children, when they've misbehaved). 

Or he could just be getting ready to wipe the slate clean and start over.  What do I know?
