OK God… what’s up with all the stinkin’ forest fires?

Jen, those stinkin’ forest fires were started by the lightning you were admiring a few weeks ago.Â? Besides, the forest renews itself through them.

And the people whose houses are burning down?

They knew the dangers when they built their houses in the middle of the forest.

Tell them that.Â? Now how about sending the smoke west rather than east?Â? Or do you get some kind of sick enjoyment out of my sinus and allergy issues?

Quit whining and take some Sudafed.Â? No wait… you can’t take that.Â? Try a nice warm shower and those saline rinses that Tom and Dr. Amy told you about doing.Â? You haven’t done those in how long???

And exactly how do I do this when the water smells like sulfur?

My aren’t we full of kvetching tonight.

Well the headache from the lack of glasses isn’t helping my mood.

I’ll work on expediting the glasses to you.Â? In the meantime, read Psalm 8 on the majesty of Creation, take some Aleve for the headache, and go curl up in a dark room with your black creature.Â? Capeche?

Capeche LORD.Â? Amen.
