~This Week's Spiritual Joke~ Old farmer John's tractor just up and quit on him one day while he was plowing in the furthest field from his house. He tried to start it over and over, but it just wouldn't go, still, being a deeply spiritual man of good practice all his life; he remained calm and serene.
He tinkered with the old tractor with the few hand tolls he kept onboard for quite some time, but to no avail. Still with his deep abiding spiritual nature, he remained calm and serene. Finally, he made the long trudge back to his house and got his big toolbox from the work shed, and huffed and puffed as he lugged it all the way back across the fields to the old tractor. Still yet, given his lifelong spiritual practice, he remained calm and serene. He worked tirelessly without success throughout late afternoon, as it began to appear a storm was brewing on the far horizon. yet he remained calm and serene. He worked more and more frantically as the skies blackened and the rumbling storm drew nearer and nearer, still with no success in getting the tractor started, but remained calm and serene through it all. The storm was nearing as old farmer John's wrench slipped and he bashed his knuckles on the side of the tractor's engine. That was finally it! He cursed, he screamed, he stomped up and down ranting and raving, he blasphemed God repeatedly. When suddenly, a lightening bolt struck from the dark skies above, hitting him squarely on the top of the head. He came to as raindrops began to fall, getting up off of the ground onto his knees, he shook his head to clear his mind from the mighty blast of the lightening bolt. His very un-spiritual display just before the lightening bolt had struck came back to him. Still on his knees, he clasp his hands together, and pleaded "Oh' God, I am so verily sorry for my actions, and my blasphemy, please forgive me." A calmness reentered him once again, and he felt much better. A question came to him as he sat their in the field on bended knee, and felt the need to ask, "Dear God, should you deem an answer worthy, I do have a question. because of my blasphemous display, It was You who made the lightening bolt to strike me and You who afflicted me with it of course, wasn't it?" In a moment, a deep gentle voice came forth from the skies above, "John ... sometimes a lightening bolt ... is just a lightening bolt."Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]@yahoogroups.comWelcome To dimpill's gang!
