Who Created The World?

Human beings did not create the world; they messed it up. Okay, okay, I was being funny and serious at the same time.

What if we humans had to organize a system to plug and unplug the sun every day? Had to organize a phone tree or something or we wouldn’t have consistent daylight because someone “forgot.”

I am giggling. What if someone had to enforce the law of gravity or we would all go floating out into space? What if the person in charge called in sick?

What if we did not have to go on Facebook to prove to others that we are having a good time and that we believe in all kinds of memes and stuff. What if we just left human society to run itself without the help of smart phones and stuff?

That wouldn’t happen because we like playing God so much that we have forgotten Him. It’s not like He wants a thank you card or anything, though. Come to think of it, He doesn’t want email or phone calls at all. Who does? That’s why humans can’t run the Sun and Moon Utility Company.

We don’t get statements from God either. He doesn’t charge us billable hours for all of the time He listens to prayers. He is not a jerk.

So what’s my point in writing this essay? I forget—something about humans messing up everything they touch. But God is onto us; that’s why he runs things with a capital “T.” Things like life and death, earth, wind and fire. We harness them; He made them.

Now that I have gotten this off of my chest, I have a question. Who is cleaning the Grand Canyon this week? Surely it is not my turn again!
