God's lab rat

A person who I am very fond of once exclaimed “I am tired of being God’s lab rat !! “.

At the time, I couldn’t understand the sentiment but I do now.

I feel as though I am in a maze and not only can I not find the exit but there are fake ones all over the place. I find the egress only to discover that it just leads deeper into the maze … and just for laughs, the floor is wired to give me a good electrical shock, at random intervals and for no apparent reason.

Now, I understand the sentiment all right.

I can just picture this supreme being up there saying to whomever it is He speaks to, “Hey, let’s give him 1000 volts through the floor – see if he can take that ! “.

A while before Andrew’s surgery, we were struggling with several issues. Like everyone else, our asset values had plummeted and we were now looking at decreased worth across the board. I had been out of work for several months in the preceding year. My Florida property, in addition to diminished value, took a hit from the lack of tourists (and from Kissimmee allowing a condo to be erected on every square inch of undeveloped land). And then …..

Like an idiot, I said to myself “well, at least it can’t get any worse”……. Which of course meant that it could and would and  it  did

First we find there are issues with the condo in Florida (which we rent out short term – like a hotel – through a management company)….guess it wasn’t enough to have it empty a good deal of the time, "let’s just get rid of all tourism in Orlando. There, now the place is completely expense.". Two points for the supreme being …”Bwahaha, let’s see how they deal with this !!!”. OK, I am a big boy and I can weather this even after a quarter of the previous year with no pay. It might be tight but …..

“at least it can’t get any worse……. And I have my health and a healthy family….”

Really ?, well we will just see about that !” says the supreme being. “Let’s take one of the kid’s for a little stay in the hospital. Bwahaha……and let’s make it the one that can’t defend himself … hahahahaha…..HAHAHAHAHAH”.

Well, we all know where that went, don’t we ?

He sat up there for two months with the old juice-o-meter and just kept the shocks coming …… “let’s try 1500 volts – Intubate Andrew and see what they do”…..

Wow, they almost handled that…I know, let’s have Andrew’s kidneys fail…That’ll get them …..HARHARHAR !!!”.

I think it was in the second week when I started to think to myself “What kind of God would take this helpless child and basically torture him ? “

Crank it up to 2000 volts !! – that will teach him to question me !”

After every setback, I would think “well, at least it can’t get any worse…….”

And then came the day when He basically drained the Northeast Powergrid into my spine by taking Andrew from us.

And I thought “well, at least it can’t get any worse…….”

And He thought “let me show mercy … I think I’ve given him the maximum voltage – I’ll leave the voltage alone, maybe even turn it back a littleBUT I’LL LEAVE IT ON FOR DAYS !!!!!!!

“BWA Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!!!”
