I see Divine Inspiration in some pretty weird places...

i apologize first off, for i'm sure to offend someone with this post.  but i see so many things that qualify as "God's way of telling you...". 


it has occurred to me that dandruff may well be God's way of telling me not to wear black so much. although it's easy to match with things, that's sort of taking the easy way out, isn't it? so what if i clash? it's just one more way to express myself.

just like the snow and ice of winter is God's way of telling you "hey, ya big dummy, stay inside and take a NAP! it's freakin' cold out there!". or the sunrise tells you "hey, wake up, you have stuff to do!". or pony tail holders tell you you just can't have a good hair day, EVERY day.

ok, maybe i see divine inspiration in some really weird places. but i do see....

opaque tights are here to tell you, it's ok to not shave your legs this winter. AT ALL! and the rain is there to remind you that you can't have it all, all the time, and if you COULD then the sunny days just wouldn't seem as wonderful.

tooth whiteners are the powers that be, telling us, hey, you might have let something slide, had a few things fall by the wayside, but with a little effort you can correct a mistake and make something worth smiling about. i suppose in some cases, divorce can fall into this category, too!

those leashes for kids? that is how the inept parent identifies themselves... it's God's way of telling you "for pete's sake, DO NOT let your child sleep over at THEIR house!". just like a 30-year-old volvo is there for people who are terrible drivers, not just to keep them safe in the NEXT wreck, but to show us who to avoid.

sneezes are God's way of telling us not to put things up our noses, or maybe to remind us not to drive with our eyes closed?  and hiccups so that others might have an excuse to creep up behind us and yell "boo!"

clearly, there are some things God only put here on earth as a sort of joke. like platypuses. and grilled cheese sandwiches that "look like jesus". and eyebrow piercings perhaps. and oysters. and cicadas. i would say armadillos, but then, they are delicious, so never mind that one!

i think God gave us mirrors so we could practice laughing at ourselves. if you haven't used yours for this yet, i'm sure someone else would be happy to do it for you...

i could go on and on about all God gave us, when he gave us children. but that should be it's own post entirely.
