A New All-Time Low
After 8pm, phone rings. It is a pre-recorded telemarketer selling, I kid you not, God. Go-hod. Not even a live person for Go-hod. Somehow they think they need to "reach" more people (live more opulently themselves) and that I should deprive my children of something so they can. All I can think of is Chinua Achebe's book Things Fall Apart.

Oh, Ichabod, Ichabod, how the mighty have fallen! Sounds like lean times in heaven. What a hard-hearted woman you are to deny the Almighty small change, CG!
If they were selling God, how much was he? I mean, was it a good deal?
A little God could come in handy sometime, you know?
I suspect most of us want an easily managed God, such as you could purchase at Walmart, rather than any real, wholly untamed God.
By the way, Achebe is going to be in Louisville - my hometown - Oct. 25! His is a name you don't hear often.
