God did it to me again. He threw me another curve ball. He did it to me back during the summer and here it is fall, and He’s doing it to me again.
What am I talking about? He keeps pushing me up against people that I normally wouldn’t hang out with in the outside world.
Remember James? Exhibit A. Now there’s Kurt. God did it to me again.
Let me tell you about Kurt.
Kurt’s another twenty-something here at the farm. And we’re about as different as two people can be. Need a couple examples? OK, how about these.
He’s a great vegetarian cook. I’m a Swanson’s TV dinner in the oven at 450 degrees for an hour type person.
He makes these tremendous home-made candles. Give me a Coleman lantern and I’m happy.
He sees a deer in the garden and thinks Bambi. I see a deer and I think antlers on the wall in The Mancave.
See? We’re different. Nothing wrong with that…we’re just different.
The other day I wrote about my camera being stolen. Kurt came to me the next day and told me that he had an extra camera and if I’d like to borrow it, I could. It’s about like my other camera. Mine had some features his doesn’t. His has some features mine didn’t. But for some reason, using his camera for the past several days has somehow made it ok to experiment…and I’ve gotten some great shots. The two shots with this post were done with his camera. I took them at The Riverwalk in Albany, Georgia after I finished with an appointment I had. Came out pretty good…don’t ya think?
So God keeps throwing me curve balls. I think He does it for His amusement. I can picture Him and Jesus now. Sitting around the Throne Room…bored. God snaps his fingers and fairly shouts — “I know what we can do. Let’s take a long-haired hippie who cooks vegetarian food, makes candles and has a soft spot for Bambi and push him up against a grizzled ol’ vet who can burp the National Anthem”.
