God's Plan, and your role as Object Lesson

God's Other Plan: Hot Dog Sales

"Maybe pain is just His way of hurting us" - The Firesign Theater

Recently, one Carson Wentz, vagabond quarterback and owner of the greatest fall from grace in recent Philadelphia sports history, only for the world to say Ben Simmons a lot...

Said the following in regards to his latest incident of changing postal addresses.

"I said, 'Okay God, I'm just going to take the next right step. I'm going to be obedient wherever you have me."

There's more, but I'm clearly too much of a heathen to be able to spread more of that. Besides, the crop's going in nicely without it.

Now, a few points that should be obvious, but check the data, folks -- things that should be obvious get missed a lot. 

> Why is Carson obedient to his special magical sky friend, but not the coach who employs him and would prefer that he doesn't go Late Stage Brett Favre on every play?

> Is there, I don't know, perhaps even a percentile of a chance that God's Ineffable Plan actually doesn't, you know, think about Carson's changing postal addresses very much

> And if that chance is less than zero, then it would stand to reason that said magical sky friend might think Carson to be, how shall we say, spectacularly vain and self-glorifying in his own warped way as to be the exact kind of person who would get a big surprise in the next life...

> Um, Carson? You might want to double-check the idea that the Daniel Snyder Football Experience is "the next right step"

There's probably some meta-ironic way to read that.

Anyway... Well, far be it for me to say, I'm just a simple country sports pundit.

Who is looking forward to the brief but memorable Donovan McNabb II, Washington Edition Electric Boogaloo career we are about to watch...
