Proof that God makes mistakes
Over the years, there have been several things that have caused me to question the idea that God makes no mistakes.
Take mosquitoes for example. Better still, we here in South Georgia have gnats. We even have a local community that has an annual Gnat Day! I am serious about that. But surely, even the gnat has a place in our eco-system.
Ok - I will give you what you looking for - the mistake that I know God made.
...but first I will tell you what the mistake is not... the mistake is not Tuesdays. I was born on a Tuesday! I am fine with Tuesdays. The week is rolling and people are working. We only have 3 more days to work after Tuesday. Nope, it ain’t Tuesday.
Wednesday? I like Wednesdays. I remember the church bus picking me up on Wednesdays. That old Baptist church in South Florida played a big part in my coming to know the Lord and consequentially going into full time ministry. I like Wednesdays. Wednesdays are no mistake.
How can anyone see Thursday as an error in the judgment of God! Just get through Thursday you can get to Friday! Friday is where the fun begins. I realize that some of you are crammed to get the work week finished before Saturday. Saturday we, man the boat, go off to the park, mow the yard, drown a few worms, etc. No kids to get up for school on Saturday. For many there is no need for an alarm clock with its extra large snooze button. Sunday - I'm a preacher! I live to worship the Lord and share His word on Sundays! Even my family leaves me alone on Sundays. BUT FOLLOWING SUNDAY NIGHT is MONDAY MORNING! That's where God erred in His way. Why would God make a day in which "roll out of bed?" The lines at Starbucks are too long to get my Vanilla Latté (soy, sugar free syrup). The kids are ready for just "10 more minutes of sleep." Their book bags are a mess, they need lunch or lunch money...BUT I FORGOT TO GET CASH! What do you mean the car won't start?" "I thought YOU took out the dinner?"
When you get to work the conversation is all about Monday. "How are you?" "Well, it's another Monday," your coworker replies. If you have a bad Tuesday you call it "another Monday!" Why couldn't The Lord make the week start on a Tuesday? Or would Tuesday just be like a Monday? Rise and shine, campers, it's Tuesday morning!" (Doesn't work- does it?) The Carpenter's would have had to sing, "Rainy days on Wednesday's always get me down." I can't see the Momma's and the Poppa's singing, "Thursday-Thursday so good to me." Somehow, "TUESDAY Night Football" just doesn't cut it. I guess our wrestling fans would lose Monday Night Raw. We spend 1/7th of our lives doing MONDAYS!
Mondays - I will just have to ask The Lord about Mondays when Monday no longer matters.
