It’s Stranger on the Bus

I’m sitting here working late getting ready to work even longer and fighting boredom.  I could get into some serious trouble on these internets and am trying to break some bad habits, which isn’t totally easy to do!  I’m kind of stressing out a little; therefore I turn to you, my silent blog-friend.  You never disappoint.

I have a piece of mail waiting for me at the post office.  They put the slip in my box saying they couldn’t deliver it, but they never came to the door.  I’ve been home all day, I would have heard them!  Certified mail has never been good.  It’s always from the IRS, and its never been a birthday card or something cool like photos from their company retreat.  But I can’t confirm what’s in it until tomorrow morning… hmm I guess that would be THIS morning since its after one.

My roof is leaking again too, oh joy!  When it rains it pours, literally.  That’s the other biggie.  So because I am such the devout guy that I am, I turn to God and ask him to save my butt from all that’s ailing me.  It never fails, really.  And if I were the Big Guy I think I’d be getting tired of only hearing from me when I’m at my lowest.  But then again there’s always lower.  I’m sure I haven’t hit rock bottom – ever.

So in my boredom, and since He’s on my mind I figured I’d do the other natural thing and I Googled “God”.  I changed the search to images only, because I was thinking maybe there’d be some candid shots of Him from grade school or something leaked onto the net.  Maybe some goofy pics from a Christmas party or something – because you KNOW he’d be there.  (Having an image of God in my mind, with a lamp shade on his head, is likely going to send me to hell.)  Then I kind of came to a revelation (no pun intended):

If Jesus were here today working His works and like the song says, be-bopping around on the bus and being a slob like one of “us” – he’d probably would Google Himself.   I mean at some point, right?  I know He’s perfect and all, but there are 98,200,000+ image results for the term “God”.  He’d have to be at least a little curious, right?

He might not be mega pleased though. Page number nine has the movie poster for “Oh, God!” with George Burns.  Now I thought he did a great job playing God, back when I was a kid, but now a-days I like seeing Morgan Freeman.  Of course that’s because I always like Morgan Freeman, he rocks out loud.  Which gets me thinking again: who else Googled this and are they going to be all racially upset that all the pictures at least up to page nine are “White God”.  I’ve heard some people complain before about “White Jesus”.  But it’s not like Robert Byrd painted the images or anything.  The Sistine Chapel even appears to have “White God” on it – so blame those old guys who likely knew Him in person, not me.

Well I think its time to get back to the grind.  I appreciate you squeezing me in.  I can always count on you – thanks.
