My Vegan T. Rex

 

My Vegan T. Rex

Genesis 1:30 “And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.”

     That’s weird.  If you believe the Bible to be true, then T. Rex ate his veggies.  In other words, he started out eating only plants.  In fact, every animal was created vegan.  Guess that made the original creation more harmonious if they didn’t kill each other.  

     So why is T. Rex in the ring boxing furiously with gloves on?  Because someone is pounding his tail!  He beats and beats an invisible opponent called Man’s imagination.  He’s been billed The Terrible Lizard and we want to see a fight.  I mean, that’s what the poster said.  His blood ripping, eye gleaming, and thrashing about we lust to behold.

     Surely his horrendous, behemoth body with razor teeth declares the obscenity of God’s creation.  Violence around every corner as no dinosaur was safe from this predator. How could God make such a beast?  Well, He didn’t.

     Perversion is what We are known for.  God makes perfect.  We throw wrenches at it hoping to jam the right gear.   If we could construe in our minds that creation wasn’t sound at first, then we could doubt the character of our God.  We defame His revelation when we accredit original violence to Him.  As if He called the cage fight and sat back to spectate.  That’s the God of Jesus?

     No wonder Jesus came as the Way.  What did the little Hebrew boys think of terrible lizards in their days?  How twisted was their past understanding?  If time for Jesus was then, to show the true Father, how much more do we need Him today when the earth is 4.3 billion years old?  Someone threw a whole lotta wrenches with that one.  “Let us suppress the truth with our dark minds to elevate humanism as the one to solve all mysteries.”  It is only mysterious if you take God out of the reason.  If God is not behind creation, will Man’s contradictions ever be?

     Mr. T. Rex is my friend.  He was not fit for the Garden.  Being a beast of the earth, his wanderings led him elsewhere.  Man’s sins gave him some inordinate cravings.  I’ve heard his teeth’s roots were not deep enough to support a flesh ripper.  According to the Bible, a couple made the ark trip.  One theory speculates they died in an atmospheric shift.  In any case, he was a beautiful creature made by God for specific purposes.  I don’t think scaring little kids in the 21st century was one of them.

When George Comes to Visit

  When George Comes to Visit      With the Fender stretched across my lap, and the strings where I want them in an open chord lay, I get a reconfiguring of George Thorogood off my right ear amp.   He visits me in my living room as I wake up in the day.   Coffee, meds, and a bit of legal ‘crank’ that the doc has prescribed to awaken my sluggish head.      Praise God the women aren’t around.   Nearing 12 noon and she makes the run down near Mo Valley to get the order.   Little one is working her waitress job and I get the house all to myself with dog on the futon who doesn’t complain of my fingered whine.      George and his Destroyers sounded great in the back of my pea-green Olds.   K-Mart 6X9’s punched a hole in my back dash with a little 40Watt Panasonic EQ to give the boost.   Me and your mom used to cruise for hours around that sleepy town sitting close and just enjoying each other.      Time well spent.   Not in naughtiness, just two friends, hand-in-hand listening to tune

Brother! You're A Nut!

  Brother!   You’re A Nut! Luke 4      Who waltzes into their hometown, grabs a scroll, flips out a little passage then sits down?   All their eyes were fixed upon you.   “My Thelma, with what gracious words He has blessed us today!”   Yah, yah no women in the synagogue.   But still, all the town’s men were there hanging on Your every word.   Then the jabber –      “Prophet?   Ah’ just fulfilled one and let me lay another on you.   Doc I ain’t but you’re gonna say something is wrong with Me.   Up comes Capernaum.   See what We do there!   Oh, by the way, My kind aren’t liked in their hometown.   Take twin hitters, Elijah and Elisha, God played a bit of favorites when He outsourced them.   No squat gonna happen here in Angryville.”      This was before Your armed men of twelve.   You were flying solo and stood up to the Third Reich.   No backup.   Just a brow of a hill and a long drop.   Lighting the match in the powder room.   You came to seek and save the lost, but first You h
