3:11,#505: Plumber Stuff of the Lord

The question came up in my brain this morning, "Why does toilet paper need to be 'facial quality?' I guess in the long run, it's for those of us who frequently use it for nose blowing tissues when regular tissues are not available.

Since we're told to 'go into your inner room and shut the door' when we pray, I wonder how many folks use the bathroom in this excellent fashion? After all, we're told to 'rush boldly into the throne room of grace' and 'the throne' is one of the euphemisms for the porcelain pot. God's certainly not embarrassed by your condition there, so why should you miss an opportunity to shoot the breeze with Him?

If the circulatory and excretory systems are well constructed pipe lines, and 'all that was made was made through Him,' would that make Jesus a plumber as well as a carpenter?

Should anyone be surprised when David says, in 1 Samuel 25:22 (KJV), "So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall?" The original Hebrew actually says 'who urinate against the wall' but the King Jimmy guys called it like they see'd it, I guess.

Given the presupposition of Jesus as Plumber, is it that much of a stretch to call The Flood flushing away mankind? Oh, and why would anyone name their town Flushing like the New Yaw-kers did?
Guess that's it.
