Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion

I just read a short divine advice column in which the person asking for advice responds to a book entitled The Bible Cure for Headaches by pointing out that the Bible doesn’t mention headaches, or a cure for headaches, anywhere. How can there be a Bible cure for headaches when there aren’t any headaches mentioned in the Bible?

Well, that person got it half right. It is true that the Bible does not mention any cure for headaches, and never uses the word headache as such. However, in the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, chapter 30, verse 23 declares, “Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.”

So there we are. The Bible says quite clearly that God is the cause of headaches. What is the Bible cure for headaches, then?

Simple. Avoid God.

I have declared myself to be the new President of Life of Unity08. Don’t disagree with me now — you wouldn’t want to engage in partisan bickering, would you? Don’t you think we all should unite and stop arguing and go ahead to solve the problems that face our nation? You think so? Good! Then shut up and follow me! Good doggie. Heel.

Foreclosures on homes are at their highest levels in 40 years, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. These are due to people getting home loans with very high interest rates, while their wages do not go up. Also, some very tricky loan terms are out there that end up hitting people with extra charges if they do not pay all their bills on time — even bills that are not for your house! If you are part of Oprah’s Book Club and don’t pay her the regular fees on time you could get your mortgage kicked up under this very bad fine print.

I am spreading the word on this because my brother and sister-in-law have been taken in by real estate scammers and they are going to lose their home. Where will they raise their kids? I do not know. Please. If you are buying a home, read every word of all that fine print they say you don’t need to read. It could save you some real heartache down the road.
