THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX..

Dear Thinking Ones,
The trouble with people today is they don't even think inside the box, much less outside the box I can relate a little to the saying since I work in a cubicle, much like a box, except there is no lid and it has a little doorway. Other than that, I'm thinking the only time I might be in a box is if it's a casket. Guess I'd better get a handle on things! Only the smart ones will get that.If you didn't get it, don't worry. You're probably good at something else like interpreting clouds. Or watching paint dry. I was on a 10 hour shift. The building where I work was nearly deserted. I ventured out of my cube to retrieve my Coke Zero out of the freezer. You know what that means. I had created a time bomb. So I thought it was time to defuse the bomb and avoid disaster. This small business owner, translate, man who waxes floors, told me that the floor was wet. With the yellow signs and the fan and the floor waxer machine, I had imagined that the floor was wet, only he didn't know how little I cared. How long could it take for a floor to dry? 10 minutes? I waited 15 minutes to be sure. Then I went to check again. This floor licker, uh, waxer man was sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall and talking on his cell phone. His resume must say multi-tasker. He didn't look up when I approached the break room, but he had all this stuff lined up across the entryway, like he was sitting in the sheepgate. I suppose his itemized bill would include 1 hour for watching the floor dry.
As the world thinks, I don't have enough insurance. I think I do. I have a rental house. It was worth about 105 grand. Now it may be worth 50 grand. The county taxes me for 90 grand and the insurance company says it would cost 155 grand to rebuild, if it burnt to the ground. I'm thinking if it burned to the ground and no one was home, it would not be a bad thing. There is no loan on the house, so I collect 155 grand. Do I have to rebuild the house? I should think not. I once had 5 cars and before you start, tht total value of all 5 put together would barely be enough for a trip to six flags. But we only had four drivers. So, I asked a stupid question. By the way, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people. Are we insuring the cars or the drivers, cause if it's the drivers, there are only four, but we're being charged for five and we can't drive but 1 car at a time, per person. There were times when there were four drivers and three cars. Did they just charge for the three cars. No, they charged us for all of the drivers.
I think the government should create insurance insurance. That way if you can't pay your insurance, the insurance pays for it. Then we don't need all of the government programs. It should start at birth. If you can't afford insurance, then it should be free. Then we could do away with all of the other government programs.
Rapture insurance. You've heard about the rapture. That's when all of the Christians will be caught up to heaven and everybody else will be left behind to face the tribulation. The very best thing is to go ahead and confess that you're a sinner (everyone already knows it anyway) and except the free gift that God has provided for you, eternal life. Heaven is a perfect place and we being sinners can not go there with our sin. And God being fair and all, can't just look the other way. You can not enter heaven, which only leaves that other place. But Jesus, being God's Son, and loving all of the people God made, took the punishment for all of our sins, when he willingly died on the cross. All you have to do is believe.
You don't need rapture insurance! But maybe you know someone who is stubborn and will not believe. You could buy a policy that guarantees that your friend who was left behind will have someone to remind him continually to repent and accept Christ. Yes, it's too late to be raptured, but they can still be saved.
I planted tomatoes. I hope the deer and rabbits don't eat them. If so, I guess I'll just have to have a rabbit sandwich. Guess I need tomato insurance.

So long, I'm tired.
