Do not
be deceived,
God is not
mocked;
for
whatever
a man sows,
that he
will also
reap.
[Galatians 6:7]

Lord."

"Why do you
call this,
a blessing,
child?"

(Stare up at ceiling.)
(Cranky frown.)
"Cuz...it IS,
LORD!
In the WORLD,
anyway!"

[SILENCE.]

"Why don't
You DO SOMETHING,
LORD?"

[SILENCE.]

"He's NAUSEATING!"

[CALM SILENCE.]
[GAZE AT A GREEN
FLY CLEANING ITS
WINGS WHILE SITTING
ON A PIECE OF HORSE

"Child,

"I dunno."

[CHUCKLE.]

"I really don't like,
the way Paul writes."
(Set down bowl of lumpy
mush.)
(Put hand to stomach.)
(More grimmacing.)
"He's too.....too,
HIGH BROW. I wish,
You had asked ME,
to WRITE it,
instead."

[GENTLE CHUCKLE.]
[NODDING.]
"Read It

child."

(Squint up at ceiling.)
"WHAT are Ya

"Which one,
My child;

**********************
Vengeance
is Mine,
and recompense;
Their foot shall slip
in due time;
For the day
of their calamity
is at hand;
And the things
to come
hasten
upon them.
[Deuteronomy 32:35]
