If God had a Suggestion Box…

By December 13, 2011Funny, God

God’s ways are not my ways…I know that’s true, but still, some days I wish He took suggestions.

For example, I’d suggest:

It should never rain on Mondays…

In fact, can we do away with Monday’s altogether?

There should be some times where time really does stand still…

Eating should be an exercise and burn calories…

Love should never fade…

That “write God’s will in the sky” idea…I’d consider that…

Puppies shouldn’t grow up…

Snakes, ants, flies, and gnats could be done away with some weird, temporary climate change (You can do this!)

Everyone should have a sense of humor…

Could you make women (and some men) easier to understand… 🙂

Well, at least that’s a start to God’s suggestion box.

This is a satirical post. It’s in the “funny” category. If humor bothers you I understand. It’s one of my suggestions. 🙂 Honestly, there are so many other (more serious) suggestions I would put in such a suggestion box and I’m glad God operates apart from my “suggestions”. I tend to mess things up when I’m in charge. God knows best. In fact, this whole sin problem the world suffers from started when a couple of people thought they could compete with God.

Scrap the suggestion box idea after all. Let’s simply (or not so simply) trust God.

But, just in fun, if God had a suggestion box, what would you suggest?

    I would definitely agree with the puppies suggestion. And the skywriting. 🙂

    Welcome to The High Calling!

  • If God had a suggestion box, what would you suggest?
    — Make it 48 hours a day (not 24 hours)
    — Human beings should be able to fly like birds on their own
    — None in this world should be able to commit suicide. (God should abolish the concept of suicide from human brain)

    no spiders ever created! rapture them all right now! I don't care about their purpose. Make something cuter that doesn't freak me out.

    I'd like for all men to be over 6' tall…. but that's just me.

    I like eating as exercise!

    At the moment, my suggestion is that domesticated animals have the ability to speak and understand their owner's language, so that I can explain to my cat why it was unacceptable to wake me up 6-8 times last night, especially by walking on my pillow with the same paws that dig in her litter box… Grrr…

      I think they can understand. I laughed at my dog when living abroad who responded to Hausa so now living in America I talk to my cat in Hausa and he listens! Teach a cat to obey, now that is a different story. Cats are like teenagers. They love you when they want you and hang on you but when they want to run, claw and hide they can in the next second.

  • Jon says:

    This kind of goes along with your sky writing idea; I'm stupid; send me a text or email or visit; don't let me guess what I'm really supposed to do.

    And a more serious one: If I'm doing something wrong, bring it to my attention now and set an appropriate punishment or learning lesson. Same thing with being good and doing what's right; reward me now; encourage me. But use the techniques in sentence one above. 🙂

    I would suggest that only stop lights and speed limits are for bad drivers…all the good drivers can decide for themselves.

  • Aaron says:

    Ron, what about an island where all "those" people live. You only get off the island when you repent!

    • ronedmondson says:

      Ha! Or I know a church we could send then too. Email me and I'll send you a link for a good laugh 🙂

  • Tyler Pettis says:

    mosquitoes = state bird of Alabama.. 😀 Fun post Ron =)

  • I would suggest bike riding weather all year round. but then again he may say, "Move to Arizona." I would also suggest that pizza & ice cream be on the healthy food plate.

    Why is this post in the "funny" category? Kidding…

    I'd "suggest" that the temperature never fall below 60 degrees…and never rise above 80.

  • JooYoung says:

    Put a switch on the sun and I get the remote… sounds so stupid, thou. 🙂

  • I'd suggest doing away with mornings… I'm not a morning person.

  • Amanda Z says:

    I'd add mosquitoes to your snakes & flies list! What seemingly unnecessary, irritating little creatures!
