Bible study was cancelled because our leader and friend Jason had a work emergency.<\/p>\n

Being creatively maladjusted with a brain that exists outside any box my brain began to consider what a work emergency would look like given that Jason is in demand for renovations and like projects.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our weather has been pretty calm so I ruled out classical emergencies such as:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And it has been dry so it shouldn\u2019t have been:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Earth hasn\u2019t been eating houses lately so it wasn\u2019t likely to have been:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perhaps it was an emegency repair to the work of some less exacting tradesman:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OR\u00a0 worse unhandiwork:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OR truly pitiful unhandiwork:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perhaps the ocean had undermined a bluff leaving a house hanging by its walkway?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Did the collider in Cern cause a local annomalyleaving the homeowners scrambling to get a set of stairs so they could access their home?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or did someone forget that first you build the first story, then you build the secon? Leaving the owners scrambling for a way to access the second story and to get the first story framed before the second story realized there was no first story under it and collapsed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Given Earth\u2019s lack of alien friendly accommodation aliens would find themselves in need of a place to stay while visiting Earth:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leaving the homeowners with just the stairs and front door?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A train of thought that brings to mind a mental image of a house setting off to explore the World.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Possibley a homeowner and guests over consumption of beer, eggs and fried onionds had led to a massive outbreak of methane enriched flatulance which was ignited by a thoughtlessly flicked Bic?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or perhaps the emergency had been cause by a lack of on street parking and an even bigger lack of the not so common theses days common sense.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite the last thought it wasn\u2019t until I had to dodge the third eratic driver as I made my way home that I realized that, given that drivers in Abbotsford seemed to have reached a new of incompetance. The emergency could well have been:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OR :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or even:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I suppose I will find out when bible study convenes this Thursday at 2 PM at the Salvation Army on Gladys and we consider the possibilities in the Word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
