In the words of an unknown ancient writer, and the more modern Jules Winnfield: "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you."
And we all know Hobby Lobby is owned by righteous men. Denying health care for certain employees only proves their holiness. Right?
But, what if they angered God. Truly angered him. How would His retribution take form?
Perhaps as evidenced below the break.
Two nights ago (October 1, 2014) a storm blew through the city of Waco in central Texas. While heavy rains, hail, and high winds pummeled the entire area, devastating damage was contained, for the most part, to a six block square area. Offered here, for your viewing is an example of the damage done. Some may call it bad luck, or Mother Nature's whim. Being in Waco, Texas, home of ever faithful, never feckless Baylor University, maybe I can be forgiven for including "Act of God" into the mix of possible causes.
Here's our local Hobby Lobby, in happier times:
Hobby Lobby before
And at about 6:30 PM on Oct. 14:
Hobby lobby after
In the interest of disclosure, Hobby Lobby was not the only business to suffer damage that night. A local synagogue, plant nursery, an Office Depot, a Taco Bell, and several others were also damaged.
