Why is it that when the bread runs out, the knob on the door won't turn, the newspaper ends up on the roof or the left front tire on the car is leaking air you feel the odds are stacked against you and there is no God?
And why is it that when the cake rises nicely in the oven, a discount is given at the register or your weight drops unexpectedly there is a kind, loving, benevolent God?
Little things add up, and before you know it you're cursing lucky stars or counting them.
Today was a quick day, I swear it. Time went faster than usual, somehow. Now it's gone, the moon is up and the God/Not God is making plans to trip us up somehow, remind us we are just ordinary little bags of water and chemicals burbling from one point in time to another.
We'll see what happens next. It's all a mystery, isn't it?
