Read this line very slowly and let it sink in...

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
THE BRICK

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood
street,

going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.

He was watching for kids darting out

from between parked cars

and slowed down when he thought he saw something.

As his car passed, no children appeared.

Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!

He slammed on the brakes

and backed the Jag back to the spot where

the brick had been thrown.

The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid
and

pushed him up against a parked car shouting,

"What was that all about and who are you?

Just what the heck are you doing?

That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of
money.
Why did you do it?"

The young boy was apologetic.

"Please, mister...please,

I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,"

He pleaded.

"I threw the brick because no one else would stop..." With tears
dripping
down his face

and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked
car.

"It's my brother," he said.

"He rolled off the curb and fell out of his

wheelchair and I can't lift him up."

Now sobbing, the boy asked the

stunned executive,

"Would you please help me get him back into his

wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling
lump
in
his throat.

He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into

the wheelchair, then took out a li! nen handkerchief and dabbed at the
fresh
scrapes and cuts.

A quick look told him everything

was going to be okay..

"Thank you and may God bless you,"

the grateful child told the stranger.

Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his
wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar.

The damage was very noticeable,

but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept
the
dent there to remind him of this message

"Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at
you to
get your attention!"

God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we
don't
have time to listen,

He has to throw a brick at us.

It's our choice to listen or not.

Thought for the Day:

If God had a refrigerator,

your picture would be on it.

If He had a w! allet, your photo would be in it.

He sends you flowers every spring.

He sends you a sunrise every morning.

Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!

Send this to every "beautiful person" you wish to bless, . God didn't
promise days without

pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise
strength
for the day,

comfort for the tears, and light for the way

So... why was the kid still a cripple? Oh, right, because God sucks.

I think god needs some serious mental help if he thinks that throwing bricks at fast moving vehicles is a respectable and responsible way to get attention. I mean on top of that the guy wasn't NOT paying any attention, he was in fact, doing his best to watch for passing children.
I mean does god NEED to use a WHOLE brick, why not just a pebble, how about, screaming help, how about asking for someone in the neighborhood for help, I mean, the fact that all the cars are parked on the street points to this being a city scene, there ought to be SOMEONE out and about on the walk, or is everyone inside or in their cars?

And WHO THE FUCK gets a lump in their throat when someone's just thrown a brick at them, I would help the kid but in the name of Azathoth, why get all drippy eyed? This young executive is a sentamental idiot.

I would help the kid Then get the cripple home and make the kid fix the dent by hand.

And then I would tell my friends to stop spamming my email with every two-bit chain letter that washes up on the shores of their email box...

My question is: If God is so great, then why does he have to ride in a wheelchair? Is there some sort of affirmative action going on in Heaven that insured that God be crippled?
