God Knows

    "God Knows"
   A Croakersack Article

The human body is not meant for work.  At least, that’s my opinion.  Work is
not in harmony with nature.  If it is natural for humans to work, then, why do
we sweat?  Why do we get callouses and blisters?

Why do we get sick days when we are working but not when we are playing
and recreating?

I think even God has a problem with work.  The bible says He worked for six
days and then He rested.  It never says anything else about Him returning
to work, like after a long weekend or an extended holiday.  If you go by what
the bible says, or what it does not say, God never hit a lick at work again.

Oh yeah that part about Him making it rain for forty days and forty nights
might sound like work, but I think not.  After all, people had ticked Him off.  
They had made Him mad, according to the bible.  It would seem to me that it
would have been fun watching people who had gotten on His wrong side
trying to tread water in a worldwide ocean.  

Fun is not work, is it?

I think God sat down at the end of that sixth day and said to Himself, “Why
am I doing this the hard way when all I gotta do is speak and make it
happen?”  I think God said, “I’m not going in tomorrow and nobody can
make Me, either.”  

I was watching a western movie on cable some time ago and this
homesteader-type farmer-type guy said something about there being
nothing like a good hard day’s work, from sunup to sundown.  I think that’s
the way you talk when you have been out on the prairie too long.  I never
heard anyone in real life talk like that.

The human body was made for eating grapes and strolling around naked
and pondering about life, like Adam did in the Garden of Eden.  I think when
Eve talked Adam into eating that apple, God probably said to Himself,
something like, “You know, those two are working really hard at pissing me
off.”  I think He said something like, “I think I’ll show them what work really is
like.”  

I could be wrong, though.

God knows I could be wrong.
