Vengence is mine, sayeth the Lord!

I don't know about you guys, but sometimes when someone does me wrong I'd really rather not wait for God and just wring their necks right then. Here's a real life story that reminds us that letting God fight our battles is way better-- and way funnier!!-- than going at it alone.

My daddy has been working to plant a garden for my church so we can eventually rent it out as an outdoor event spot. Anyway, he had decided to spend his day off on this past Labor day to work on that so he went out to the church early. When he arrived there he noticed a few of the air conditioners had had their covers removed. He figured the church was having A/C trouble and someone was around working on it, so my daddy went to go ask the pastor where this person was. (Daddy had to talk to this person so they could work around each other as the garden is near several A/C units.) When he asked the pastor, the pastor said with a confused look on his face that no one was working on the A/C. Apparently, we had been vandalized. The vandals had taken the covers off 9 of our A/C units in order to rip out the copper parts as copper scrap is going for a pretty good rate these days around here. There have been numerous incidents like this all over our city. The vandals also stole a few of my daddy's plants, which he is very upset about.

We have a pretty large building in the country, so my daddy and pastor had to puzzle out why the vandals didn't attack the string of units on the other side of the building since there would have been no one out there to witness these vandals in action in the middle of the night. The reason they believe surfaced at what seems to be the ninth unit hit-- the vandals came across a hornets' nest and got stung quite a few times!!! They may have made off with some scrap, but they sure don't look so pretty in the face anymore!! God, You crack me up!
