4. Why my Mom gives me dirty looks...

I'm temporarily staying with her until my stuff gets here from Calif. and I can move into my place.

Last night the local TV news had a story about one of the missionaries with Ebola. The missionary was put on an emergency flight back to the USA, taken directly to a top-class hospital for treatment and barely survived.

And OF COURSE...when the missionary could make a statement, it was all about how wonderful that a loving, all-powerful god had spared ME-ME-ME!!! From a disease currently killing many of the missionary's potential African customers.

Not a word about the expensive medical care, the emergency flight only available to privileged Americans, etc.

I listened to this goop and said: "Wouldn't it have been a lot easier if god just didn't let him get Ebola in the first place?"

Mom gave me her classic dirty look. Just like the time when she was talking about a local preacher who moonlights as an Elvis impersonator. My comment on that: "All preachers are impersonators."
