With all due respect (and apologies) to Luke 1:37...
Things that are Impossible Even for God Several months ago, as I drove along I-40 on my way to Little Rock, the verse from Scripture "for nothing is impossible with God" sprang into mind (this sort of thing is an occupational hazard). Some time later, still on the road, I found myself perversely inventing notions which are impossible, even for God. Indulge me, please, as we lighten this page up a bit in honor of summertime. 

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD…

to count the number of 18-wheelers on I-40 between Memphis and Little Rock. 

to find a football coach for the Univ. of Alabama they'd be happy with, short of bringing Bear Bryant back to life. 

to speak French in a way that would satisfy the French. 

to understand why the fundamentalists had to screw-up Halloween. 

to get Hollywood's attention 

to make any sense out of the Russian economy. 

to understand the popularity of Pokemon. 

to find a plastic surgeon skilled enough to fix Prince Charles' ears. 

to understand why Wednesday-night church is more important than Sunday morning church for many "Bible-believing" Christians in Tupelo. 

not to be completely and utterly satisfied with His creative accomplishment in Jane Seymour. 

to understand the words Bob Dylan is singing. 

to approve of the substitution of Velveeta for real cheddar. 

to choose a favorite episode of "The Andy Griffith Show." 

to be cheered-up by a William Faulkner novel. 

to restrain His righteous wrath when dealing with Tupelo traffic and trains at the Crosstown intersection. 

to take William F. Buckley as seriously-as William F. Buckley takes himself. 

to make too many zinnia flowers.
