Rev. Erudite Redneck, B.S., B.S., M.A., M.Div.

This afternoon, I pulled out of the building where I work, onto the service road of a highway and started pulling to the left lane to make a turn-around at the nearby light.

There is an exit from the highway just to the left of where I was pulling out. A little sports car, taking the exit, zipped by at full speed. I didn't see the thing until it was past me. Another foot, or less, and he'da hit me.

The driver of the little car probably wouldn't have survived, since he'd've hit a full-size high-centered pickup truck at full speed. Oh, it was a convertible. The driver probably would've been beheaded.

I might've survived, but it wouldn't've been pretty.

When my heart started beating again, I thought of my previous post, which, as the post du jour, was occupying the back of my mind all morning.

My last public words, from the previous post, would have been:

And I think it makes perfect sense for a "new revelation" to come from "the people" now -- since the days of the prophets apparently are past.

Literacy empowers and enlightens people. *The Word* as it were is more widely dispersed than ever. The Spirit still moves, and is moving today -- despite entrenched fears and the purely human forces amassed in God's name to "protect" the way things used to be at a time when The Way of Life is needed more than ever!

That first paragraph is a little out there -- but not much, really. But I could live with the next paragraph being my last public utterance on this earth.

Quick, for funsies: You're dead. What was your last blog utterance (either post or comment). Are you glad or embarrassed?
