What The Hell?


This is the second installment of my new recurring post. I started this post just for things that make you scratch your head. I didn't make this up. I'm a pretty imaginative writer, as those of you who read my other blog, Escapades, probably know... but, I'm not this imaginative.

A 59-year-old dairy farmer in upstate New York has killed 51 cows in his Copake barn with a rifle and then shot himself dead. Dean Pierson was found dead by a neighboring farmer, who then called 911. A trooper who responded and came to the scene found the victim and 51 cows dead inside their milking stalls.

Only milking cows were killed. There were heifers (no smart remarks, please) and calves in the barn that were not shot. Investigators of the bizarre case have yet to determine the reason for the suicide and mass cow killing. Neighbors of Pierson later dug a large trench near the barn and buried the dead cows there. They did not want to comment on the incident, saying they leave it to the suicide victim's widow and the police to do the talking.

Yes, and if she can come up with a logical reason for this, I'd like to hear it. I'm still scratching my head!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: Sometimes it is so hard to wait. To wait for new things to happen in my life. To wait for you to answer my prayers. To wait for the open doors that may lead me into a new way of being. During the time of waiting, it seems that all I can think of is having what it is I am waiting for. At times I feel weary of asking and waiting, and I wonder if you really hear my prayers at all, if you are ignoring me, or if you are simply refusing to give me my heart’s desire. A part of me knows that you want my best, and that your time is not my time, but Lord, it is still so hard to wait. Deepen my trust, O Lord, during the times when my heart longs for what can only come in the fullness of time. Give me a calm assurance that your will for me is grander than anything I could ever imagine. Still my mind and heart in your love so that I am mindful of the grace you are draping around me every single day, every single moment. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
