OK, HERE IS WHY I WENT TO HARRIS FAST AND LOST LOTS OF WEIGHT

The Marion County Coroner's Office dragged a deceased, obese woman from her home on a mattress and hauled her body away on a flat bed trailer in front of her family members. The deceased weighed 750 pounds. They covered her with an old piece of carpet.

Seriously guys, is that how you treat the dead in Indiana?

The family and neighbors are somewhat traumatized.

I have some interesting ideas for my funeral, but a flat bed trailer does not figure into any of them. Also, I was afraid my kids would dress up like a whale and play a tape of spouting noises. They have a weird sense of humor. Plus, it's what I'd do.

There is very little dignity in life and, often, less in death. But you do what you can.

PREDESTINATION

The king in the land decides before the birth of a single peasant that he will adopt peasants 1, 12, 24, 37, 59 as his children. The king makes the decree and later the peasants are born.

The King tells his messenger, “God tell peasants 1, 12, 24, 37, 59 I wish to show my mercy to them and adopt them as my children, and they will come and live with me.”

The peasants, now born, but on the far side of country and without hope and food, rejoice at the news and receive the gift so graciously given. They become heirs and go live with the king.



“When did the king’s decree become effective?

Was it when the peasant was born?

Or was it when the king said it?”

When the king determined to do it. He is the king. What he purposes in his heart will be accomplished.
